Hi,
As bug#582952 explains, as soon as dash stops pretending not to know
how to set the $LINENO variable, autoconf will stop rejecting it and
falling back to bash, provoking some build failures with non-portable
configure scripts. Alas.
In elfutils, the symptoms look like this:
| checking for xgettext... /usr/bin/xgettext
| checking for msgmerge... /usr/bin/msgmerge
| ./configure: 4892: ./configure: Bad substitution
| make: *** [config.status] Error 2
It's possible to test using dash 0.5.7-2~exp1 or by setting
CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/dash directly.
How about this patch (+ an "autoreconf -f")?
