basename: a faulty warning 'extra operand --test-name' in tests causes test-driver to fail

[Vasiliy <testtest_2005 at ukr dot net>]

Hello,

When trying to 'make check' Open MPI from the SVN sources I observe
the following issue with 'basename' from 'coreutils' Cygwin package:

basename: extra operand `--test-name'
Try `basename --help' for more information.
--> Testing
test-driver: line 95:  <PID> Aborted                 (core dumped)
"$@" > $log_file 2>&1

and upon investigating:
$ /usr/share/automake-1.14/test-driver --help
Usage:
  test-driver --test-name=NAME --log-file=PATH --trs-file=PATH
              [--expect-failure={yes|no}] [--color-tests={yes|no}]
              [--enable-hard-errors={yes|no}] [--] TEST-SCRIPT
The '--test-name', '--log-file' and '--trs-file' options are mandatory.
