The binutils suite will not compile on systems using a traditional Bourne
compatible shell. During build, the scripts will fail will errors as follows:
../../binutils-2.19.1/ld/genscripts.sh: /tmp/sh119278: cannot open
make[4]: *** [ei386linux.c] Error 1
make[4]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
../../binutils-2.19.1/ld/genscripts.sh: /tmp/sh11884180: cannot open
make[4]: *** [eelf_i386.c] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory `/local/home/lfs/binutils-build/ld'
make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/local/home/lfs/binutils-build/ld'
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/local/home/lfs/binutils-build/ld'
make[1]: *** [all-ld] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/local/home/lfs/binutils-build'
make: *** [all] Error 2
The cause appears to be due to the absence of a bash shell.
Running grep on the unpackaged source, it appears that the scripts contain some
bashisms as follows:
genscrba.sh:#!/bin/bash
The above error occurs on systems using either an ash shell or a heirloom shell.
