Hi Angelo,

but maybe /bin/sh is not such a good shell.  What is Kubuntu's bin/sh?

As far as I understand the configure and libtool scripts should check that
the shell they are started with support this construct or else reexec
themselves with a suitable good_shell.

Maybe './Build CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash' helps, but I reall on't know.
