There is already a shell on android. Bash is overkill, since we don't usually spend a lot of time processing data or developing within the shell running on the phone. Usually I pull files off the phone and use bash on my Linux development machine (where there is CPU and storage space available) to do any shell heavy lifting that is needed.
I'm running CyanogenMod, and I already have uname, uptime, and dropbear (sshd). You might want to focus your time on irssi, if anything, but be aware that there are already IRC clients out there. And since you're starting out, it's probably better to focus on learning Java on the Android, and stay out of C/C++/NDK space until later. The support down there is not being provided by the normal set of Linux system libraries you're used to. Porting bash may be an exercise in futility.
