Just a heads-up: under FreeBSD 4.1; some of the GNU auto* tools
(notably autoconf and autoheader) invoke /bin/sh, but presume that
that is really bash.

Autoconf is from the autoconf-2.13 package.

For example, when I try to run 'autoconf --version', it hangs.

  % autoconf --version
  Start ...
  waiting for connection ...

If I edit /usr/local/bin/autoconf (which claims to be a Bourne
shell script, and replace it's !# with /usr/local/bin/bash, it then
works.

I have no idea if this has been reported in the PR database, but
I just wanted to warn people...
