Sorry, you do not seem to understand POSIX :-(
While Solaris is fully POSIX-1-2001 compliant, Linux is not....
POSIX is a _source_ standard that does not deal with path names at all.
POSIX does not care about what you get when you type /bin/sh, POSIX grants you
that if you call:
PATH=`getconf PATH`
sh
you get a POSIX shell.
An autoconf utility that depends on bash instead of the Bourne shell is not
portable.
