Hi, Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that siege could not be built reproducibly. Specifically, it ships a shell script — siege.config — that embeds the current shell. Based on my limited testing, I believe it is using the target of the /bin/sh symlink rather than the value of the $SHELL environment variable. Patch attached.
