Hello, it's me again. :-)

I just tried to build mutt-1.10.0 on Solaris 10 and ran into this:

    2018/05/23 09:01:37 Building in
    /net/nas1/bpool/local/local_src/Mail/Mutt/mutt-1 .10.0 ...
    ./gen_defs ./OPS ./OPS.PGP ./OPS.SMIME ./OPS.CRYPT > keymap_defs.h
    ./patchlist.sh < ./PATCHES > patchlist.c echo 'const char
    *ReleaseDate = "'`(cd . && ./mkreldate.sh)`'";' > reldate.h
    ./mkreldate.sh: syntax error at line 6: `reldate=$' unexpected

Switching from $() to `` or from /bin/sh to /bin/ksh (or /bin/bash) 
resolves the problem.
