For the Korn shell, $? has the value of the last executed statement
_before_ the call to exit.

I just installed ksh/stable (version 93s+ 2008-01-31) on Debian and it
behaves correctly. Maybe you need to upgrade? This really looks like a bug
in your shell to me.

According to the autoconf docs this bug is also present in the Solaris
/bin/sh (and autoconf generated scripts use some elaborated workaround).
