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. -- Fabian Groffen Gentoo on a different level -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
