As per discussion with Mac:
In Sun's case, both /usr/bin/sh and /bin/sh are the same
thing, i.e. they both point to /sbin/sh which is the real
Bourne shell.
In GNU case, /bin/sh is still expected to be Bourne shell
and it is just an artifact that it's emulated by bash.
I still think that pointing /bin/sh -> /sbin/sh would work;
if there are GNU scripts which assume /bin/sh to be /bin/bash
and they use bash syntax, then I think either the script
is broken (it should really say !/bin/bash) or that bash
itself is broken (it shouldn't emulate bash in Bourne mode).
