From 1ae8d415e60fec75997b9d9a533ab5103d4d93d0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnout Vandecappelle Date: Sat, 15 Oct 2016 23:14:11 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] gzip: force shell shebang to /bin/sh gzip's configure uses $SHELL to find a POSIX-compliant shell to put in the shebang of its shell scripts (zcat, gzexe, ...). However, we set $SHELL to /bin/bash in the Makefile, which may not be present on the target. We do make sure that /bin/sh always points to a valid shell on the target so we can use that. The configure discovery is completely broken for cross-compilation. The same $SHELL is used during the build (it is used by make to run the commands in rules) and on the target. Also, the checks for a valid shell use the host shell, not the target shell. We could try to patch gzip to fix that, but the checks can anyway not be run for the target shell, so we'll have to override it with a cache value anyway. So we can just as well do exactly that, without patching.
