I don't have this problem on my Solaris 8 (sparc) box. gzip 1.3.12 builds zgrep and installs it, with the first line being "#!/bin/bash". /bin/bash is a standard part of Solaris 8, in the SUNWbash package. If you don't have /bin/sh installed then the build process should fall back on /bin/ksh, which is in the core SUNWcsu package (the same package that has /bin/sh). Evidently something is going wrong on your platform, and this process isn't working. Can you please send bug-gzip@gnu.org the exact command that you used to configure gzip 1.3.12 on your platform, along with its output on a fresh copy of the distribution? It might also be helpful to send the output of the command "sh -x configure". Thanks.
