Please stop calling it "more portable".  The shell code you see in
configure can in a way be called "portable".  Your POSIX compliant stuff
isn't.  In fact, by stating #!/bin/sh you actually make the code useless
on a number of platforms, where it would have been working fine if there
just were #!/bin/bash there.

It seems to me that you actually mean "more FreeBSD-able" or something,
which is a high price to pay for a relatively small part of Gentoo as a
whole.
