Hello, While working with the latest GHC sources on FreeBSD, I found that the "boot" script calls bash without any reason. In that script, bash is used for running "boot-pkgs" which has a shebang line referring to sh only (i.e. it is not a bash script). In my opinion, bash should be omitted for portability reasons. Of course, bash is ported to FreeBSD, but because it is used only in "boot" that would introduce an unnecessary dependency on bash.
I attach a patch that fixes the problem. Cheers, :g
boot-no-bash.patch
