Interesting -- i just now realized that i only partially
understood a user request. CONFIG_SHELL seems to be an autotools
thing. No normal average person knows that.
I use the above snippet not in my personal profile etc, but in the
portable test runner scripts, or in configure shell scripts. And
in the lynx configure script there is
SHELL=${CONFIG_SHELL-/bin/sh}
so your own convenience umbrella will not cover your users!?!

That's been my recommendation for several years (actually, for tin,
I provided Urs with a script to alter the configure script, but don't
recall anyone else commenting on it) - I posted a copy here:

yes... I overlooked building without ncurses (because I'm also testing
ncurses, of course).
Actually this would have been true in 2.9.0 (January), since my
build-scripts use ncurses, slang and PDCurses (*)
(*) I'll have to add a special case for Solaris and NetBSD ;-)

[Lynx-dev] lynx2.9.1 build issues
At Utah, I ran build attempts of lynx2.9.1 in more than 70 systems in
our test farm. Of those, 59 built and validated successfully, and
2.9.1 is now the default version of lynx on all of our physical
servers.
The remaining failures are traced to just two issues:
(1) On Solaris systems, configure fails like this:
checking for DESTDIR... ./configure: syntax error at line 1343: `('
unexpected
The fix was simple: use a newer shell than /bin/sh:
ksh ./configure
(2) On NetBSD 10 and Solaris 11.4, I got this link-time error:
ld: LYCurses.o: in function `stop_curses':
LYCurses.c:(.text+0x164a): undefined reference to `delete_screen'
There are -lcurses and -lncurses libraries on those systems,
with these partial contents on NetBSD 10:
% nm /usr/pkg/lib/libncurses.a | grep ' T del'
T delwin
0223 T delch
0232 T deleteln
02c3 T delscreen
0160 T del_curterm
00a1 T del_curterm_sp
0253 T delay_output
015a T delay_output_sp
% nm /usr/lib/libcurses.a | grep ' T del'
005e T delay_output
T deleteln
0573 T delscreen
016a T delch
T delwin
and these contents on Solaris 11.4:
% /usr/gnu/bin/nm /usr/lib/amd64/libcurses.so.1 | grep ' T del'
00027110 T del_curterm
00029b30 T delay_output
00027130 T delch
00027160 T deleteln
00029b60 T delkey
00029ec0 T delkeymap
0002a050 T delscreen
0002a110 T delterm
0002a210 T delwin
