I think it did make a difference in glibc. At least at one time, there were some scripts that has #!/bin/sh with bashisms that broke the build if dash was used. That problem may have been fixed, but it doesn't hurt to ensure that everyone uses the same shell. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
