Please stop calling it "more portable". The shell code you see in |
| 6 |
configure can in a way be called "portable". Your POSIX compliant stuff |
| 7 |
isn't. In fact, by stating #!/bin/sh you actually make the code useless |
| 8 |
on a number of platforms, where it would have been working fine if there |
| 9 |
just were #!/bin/bash there. |

It seems to me that you actually mean "more FreeBSD-able" or something, |
| 12 |
which is a high price to pay for a relatively small part of Gentoo as a |
| 13 |
whole. |
