Above you stated "lowercase $host" but not "lowercase uname -s". $host is
"i386-pc-qnx4". Therefore it doesn't make sense to lowercase $host if you
want to get the string "qnx". Remember, I have not got the new source yet to
have a look at it. So I can comment only what you have written in the mail.

TEMPLATE=`uname -s | tr A-Z a-z`
will not work too because A-Z and a-z must be enclosed in square brackets on
QNX4. So you can use
TEMPLATE=`uname -s | tr [A-Z] [a-z]`
or
TEMPLATE=`uname -s | tr [:upper:] [:lower:]`
