Hi,
Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that
vcsh could not be built reproducibly.
This is because the main vcsh script varies in its shebang depending
on the current shell:
│ │ ├── ./usr/bin/vcsh
│ │ │ @@ -1,8 +1,8 @@
│ │ │ -#!/bin/bash
│ │ │ +#!/bin/sh
I think the attached patch should fix it; a similar approach has worked
with other Autotools packages, although I have never managed to trace
exactly through the code how the _autodetection_ works.
