Just committed a portage patch to actually use $CONFIG_SHELL when calling
configure's.
In usr/portage/prefix/aix/profile.bashrc you can find CONFIG_SHELL=$BASH,
so an ebuild calling configure (via econf or not) should have CONFIG_SHELL set.

While it was enough for long time to just do:
$ export CONFIG_SHELL=/path/to/bash
$ ./configure
recently it seems necessary to do:
$ export CONFIG_SHELL=/path/to/bash
$ ${CONFIG_SHELL} ./configure
So I didn't encounter problems when doing this:
$ export CONFIG_SHELL=/path/to/bash # done by profile.bashrc
$ ${CONFIG_SHELL} ./configure # done by portage now
