What OS? What error message?
There was a period where a bug in GCC prevented a configure time
check from working. In mksh R45 (released yesterday), the entire
arithmetics code has been rewritten to not use signed integers,
making that check o

Nothing prevents you from replacing /bin/{,k}sh with mksh…
(I’ve done so on an OpenBSD VM at work) or just installing
it alongside and using it.
