I do this on all older systems, and then copy it into /bin/bash
If you're doing this to fix the actual serious vulnerabilities in older
bash (e.g. shellshock) you should also replace /bin/sh, which is the
POSIX-required system shell that is used explicitly in some
circumstances (e.g. boot time.) This is especially important if you're
crazy enough to expose such an antique machine to the net.
see <https://github.com/kencu/myports/blob/master/shells/bash/> if you
need inspiration.
I've seen that egregious hack somewhere before...
