This file is the only one involved in the compilation process which

What's the reason for this indirection? bash has been /bin/bash for
decades,
it is used this way in many other places in qemu code and in other
projects.
Yes I know about current move /bin => /usr/bin etc, but the thing is that
traditional paths like this one (or like /bin/sh) is not going away any
time
soon. What's the matter here?
/mjt
On MacOS /bin/bash is the pre-installed bash:
% /bin/bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.2.57(1)-release (arm64-apple-darwin23)

With /usr/bin/env I get a recent one from Homebrew:
% /usr/bin/env bash --version
GNU bash, version 5.2.21(1)-release (aarch64-apple-darwin23.0.0)

So if a bash script uses bash syntax which was added after 2007, that
would not work with /bin/bash. That's why I had to use the indirection
for another open source project. I don't know whether the QEMU bash
scripts require a newer version of bash.
