Hi,

gnunet builds differently depending on the shell used. As different shells are
fine + expected, this is a serious bug, as it leads to brokeness and
unexpected behaviour.

On the Debian buildds this was "only" exposed on mipsel where as a result
gnunet-gtk failed to build, as can be seem for example here:
https://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=gnunet-gtk&arch=mipsel&ver=0.9.5-1&stamp=1392604827&file=log

Thanks, Andi, for this investigation!
