If you can find one, that's fine. First you are assuming that every
platform you want to build GCC on _will_ have such a shell. Since ksh
isn't free, and certainly not every UNIX includes bash, some versions of
UNIX might not have one anywhere (is this the same thread

Sure, that's not the problem. I've never heard of _ANY_ make that
didn't obey the SHELL variable.
