Well, this is obvious. You can't remove /bin/sh either.

"POLA" entails having /bin/csh that is csh-compatible. NO_TCSH is for
people who don't want to build and install new versions of csh. It
doesn't mean that you can run the system without it, and definitely
doesn't mean that you can remove it and expect things to build.
NOPERL is another example. Try build your kernel without /usr/bin/perl.
