Depending on what /bin/sh symlinks to, either /bin/sh or /bin/bash is embedded in autoopts-config: https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/experimental/amd64/diffoscope-results/autogen.html ./usr/bin/autoopts-config #!·/bin/bash vs. #!·/bin/sh The attached patch fixes this by hard-coding CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/sh in configure.ac. I tried passing to configure or setting it in the environment, but both approaches were ineffective. Applying this patch *should* make autogen build reproducibly. Thanks for maintaining autogen! live well, vagrant

Without hard-coding this, the build may pick /bin/sh or /bin/bash, depending on what /bin/sh links to.
