Hello Vagrant,
Thanks for the patch. Afaict it does not need bash but a posix shell:
---
config/libopts.m4
[while :
do
test -x "$POSIX_SHELL" && break
POSIX_SHELL=`which bash`
test -x "$POSIX_SHELL" && break
POSIX_SHELL=`which dash`
test -x "$POSIX_SHELL" && break
POSIX_SHELL=/usr/xpg4/bin/sh
test -x "$POSIX_SHELL" && break
POSIX_SHELL=`/bin/sh -c '
exec 2>/dev/null
if ! true ; then exit 1 ; fi
echo /bin/sh'`
test -x "$POSIX_SHELL" && br
---
I will therefore use /bin/sh instead of /bin/bash.
