You should figure out why *this* is happening and fix it. Solaris 10
/bin/sh is *extremely* old (behavior frozen circa 1992 - yes,
seriously) and it is likely that the problem you've noticed is only
the tip of the iceberg.
config.status on Solaris 10 should be generated with #!
/usr/xpg4/bin/sh and should also set the PATH to prioritize
/usr/xpg4/bin over {/usr,}/bin.
Thanks for suggesting this. Indeed my PATH has /usr/xpg4/bin in front, but
config.status is sometimes generated with /bin/bash, and some others with
/bin/sh (investigating the conditions on that). I've never seen
/usr/xpg4/bin/sh been chosen.
Where is the source for this shebang generation? Maybe I can make some
sense out of it.
