Actually the right replacement is "next" not "cont".

I fixed the "next"/"continue" issue and the Sparc issue.  I made a stab
at fixing the SIG issue but we'll see if it worked.

The wildcard issue is due to the old glob.c implementation in GNU make.
I don't know if I can fix that before the next release.  It's not a
regression, however: this is just a new test that we didn't used to
run.  The behavior of GNU make is the same as it was in previous
releases.

Thanks for testing GNU make!
