Sorry, I've just reread this. Can you tell me exactly which scripts
fail to run under Solaris' sh? It might help to run
noisycc=1 make
and post the output. The only place /bin/sh is called directly is in
the shebang line of the util scripts, and they're all very basic, so
I'm not sure why there would be a problem. If you're really desperate,
you just do something like:
for f in util/*; do
ed $f <<EOF
1s/sh/bash/
w
EOF
done
but I'd really rather fix it to work out of the box.
