If to stderr, it's all right (and bash probably does this), but if to
stdout then the code in mk/boilerplate.mk is broken. My guess: MacOS X is
using bash as /bin/sh and FreeBSD is using ksh as /bin/sh. Right?
I am not sure whether /bin/sh is ksh on FreeBSD, but there is certainly a
difference between bash and sh in reporting commands not found:

$ cygpath 1>sh.out 2>sh.err
cygpath: not found
$ cat sh.out
cat: sh.out: No such file or directory
$ cat sh.err
cat: sh.err: No such file or directory
$
}}}
So it seems that sh on FreeBSD uses neither stdout nor stderr.
Interesting.
Best regards
