Much the same as you need to override internal Makefile variables explicitly with 'make SED=gsed', you also need to inform configure that you want to override its shell search and re-exec with 'configure SHELL=/path/to/bash CONFIG_SHELL=/path/to/bash', so that it can pass that knowledge through to the rest of the build.

It's all well and good that you want to write and execute your own scripts in Bash, but I don't see the advantage in forcing Autotools to use the much slower bash when the developers of Autotools have gone to great lengths to dynamically select the best available shell to execute themselves quickly and correctly. Heh.

(It might be easier for the build setup here to put this into the environment of ./configure when it is run. Have to re-check).

Actually, I am kind of surpised that it is apparently possible to run configure with a shell A, under which tests are run, and then having it generate files for a shell B it considers preferable, but was not tested against. > to the one it looks for by itself (and actually, if you just let configure run with whatever shell it can get, > it might even find and choose /usr/local/bin/bash provided that you have /usr/local/bin in your command search > PATH, and provided that there is not a shell called 'sh' also somewhere in PATH that provides all the features > Autotools is looking for.

(It might be easier for the build setup here to put this into the environment of ./configure when it is run. Have to re-check).

Ah, I see the problem.
You needn't tell Autotools that you have a preferred shell to the one it =
looks for by itself (and actually, if you just let configure run with =
whatever shell it can get, it might even find and choose =
/usr/local/bin/bash provided that you have /usr/local/bin in your =
command search PATH, and provided that there is not a shell called 'sh' =
also somewhere in PATH that provides all the features Autotools is =
looking for.
as_save_IFS=3D$IFS; IFS=3D$PATH_SEPARATOR
for as_dir in /bin$PATH_SEPARATOR/usr/bin$PATH_SEPARATOR$PATH
do
IFS=3D$as_save_IFS
test -z "$as_dir" && as_dir=3D.
case $as_dir in
/*)
for as_base in sh bash ksh sh5; do
as_candidate_shells=3D"$as_candidate_shells =
$as_dir/$as_base"
done;;
esac
done
IFS=3D$as_save_IFS
Generally, bash is an excellent shell to use interactively, but it is a =
little buggy and considerably slower than some of the cut down shells =
such as Debian's /bin/sh which is a link to the lightning fast Almqvist =
shell. Unless you are experiencing real problems with the shell that =
configure selects for you, then you probably shouldn't need to force =
another shell.
However, you can safely force an alternative shell to execute the =
various Autotools scripts by setting both SHELL and CONFIG_SHELL, like =
so:
./configure SHELL=3D/usr/local/bin/bash =
CONFIG_SHELL=3D/usr/local/bin/bash <other arguments as usual>
That should ensure that SHELL is then set correctly in libtool and =
Makefile to match the tests that configure ran earlier.

The default is to not use these non-portable XSI patterns, and only if a =
configure time test case
is successful are they spliced into the generated libtool to speed =
things up. Perhaps configure
found a better shell and re-executed itself in order for those checks to =
pass, and then the
generated libtool was passed through the under-powered solaris sh =
afterwards?=20
Here's the snippet from libtool's generated configure script:
{ $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: checking whether the shell =
understands some XSI constructs" >&5
$as_echo_n "checking whether the shell understands some XSI =
constructs... " >&6; }
# Try some XSI features
xsi_shell=3Dno
( _lt_dummy=3D"a/b/c"
test =
"${_lt_dummy##*/},${_lt_dummy%/*},${_lt_dummy#??}"${_lt_dummy%"$_lt_dummy"=
}, \
=3D c,a/b,b/c, \
&& eval 'test $(( 1 + 1 )) -eq 2 \
&& test "${#_lt_dummy}" -eq 5' ) >/dev/null 2>&1 \
&& xsi_shell=3Dyes
{ $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: result: $xsi_shell" >&5
$as_echo "$xsi_shell" >&6; }
{ $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: checking whether the shell =
understands \"+=3D\"" >&5
$as_echo_n "checking whether the shell understands \"+=3D\"... " >&6; }
lt_shell_append=3Dno
( foo=3Dbar; set foo baz; eval "$1+=3D\$2" && test "$foo" =3D barbaz ) \
>/dev/null 2>&1 \
&& lt_shell_append=3Dyes
{ $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: result: $lt_shell_append" >&5
$as_echo "$lt_shell_append" >&6; }
Which comes from the macro _LT_CHECK_SHELL_FEATURES near the end of =
`libltdl/m4/libtool.m4'.
In the eventual generated libtool script, all uses of XSI shell features =
are encapsulated in a hand
full of shell functions marked by the comment "may be replaced by =
extended shell implementation"
(func_append, func_append_quoted, func_arith, func_len, func_lo2o and =
func_xform) if the
configure time shell is detected as not supporting XSI features, =
otherwise those functions are
replace by faster XSI implementations marked by the comment =
"Extended-shell <func-name> implementation"
by the macro _LT_PROG_FUNCTION_REPLACE.
You might try replacing all of the above with the following to narrow =
down the problem between XSI
detection issues versus early/incorrect replacement issues:
{ $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: checking whether the shell =
understands some XSI constructs" >&5
$as_echo_n "checking whether the shell understands some XSI =
constructs... " >&6; }
# Try some XSI features
xsi_shell=3Dno
{ $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: result: $xsi_shell" >&5
$as_echo "$xsi_shell" >&6; }
{ $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: checking whether the shell =
understands \"+=3D\"" >&5
$as_echo_n "checking whether the shell understands \"+=3D\"... " >&6; }
lt_shell_append=3Dno
{ $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: result: $lt_shell_append" >&5
$as_echo "$lt_shell_append" >&6; }
At configure time you should see 'checking whether the shell understands =
some XSI constructs...' and
'checking whether the shell understands "+=3D"...' tests, and the =
generated libtool script should
contain definitions of the shell functions listed above that match the =
results of those tests.
Similarly, ltmain.sh should always contain the unsubstituted =
implementations of those functions,
because _LT_PROG_FUNCTION_REPLACE only knows how to splice in the XSI =
implementations on demand,
and doesn't know how to go back the other way if the configure tests =
find XSI features don't work.
Can you investigate some more and report your findings back to the list?

Interesting.

I will investigate Monday, when I am back in the office, with access to

I see lots of references to old versions of Solaris in generated Libtool =
scripts, but we've recently been told about a problem with the following =
with Solaris 2.8's sh:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
% cat ~/trans/basedir.sh
path=3D"../libtool"
echo path____ $path
echo basename ${path##*/}
echo dirname_ ${path%/*}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
% /bin/sh ~/trans/basedir.sh
path____ ../libtool
/export/home/andreask/trans/basedir.sh: bad substitution
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ${foo##*/} pattern is used in the LT 2.4-generated libtool script =
(e.g., in =
http://www.open-mpi.org/software/hwloc/v1.2/downloads/hwloc-1.2.tar.bz2).
Is this a known issue?
