crosscflags() {
- local host=$1 - local target=$2 + host=$1 + target=$2
Confirmed; this produces the correct result with /bin/sh (ksh93), bash, and /usr/xpg4/bin/sh.
Have you tried separating the declaration and the definition. i.e.:
local host host=$1
IIRC there are sometimes issues when you combine the two.

Yes, I have tried that. Korn Shell '93 (ksh93) does not include the builtin "local", that is bash/zsh-specific:
kens@sunos:~$ ken() {
local kenny kenny=1 }
kens@sunos:~$ ken /bin/sh[2]: local: not found [No such file or directory] kens@sunos:~$ type local /bin/sh: whence: local: not found kens@sunos:~$ ^D 11:04 PM kens@sunos$ type local local is a shell builtin
Also there really is no need to rename the variables from host and target because they're not used for any unrelated purposes elsewhere in switch-arch.
The patch I had submitted is valid.
It looks like 'local' is a non-standard extension: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V3_chap02.html
Please submit the patch with a description and Signed-off-by: line.
