Ouch, ok. But actually, I'm not quite sure anymore whether the patch is really required. I ran into the "readlink -f" problem and thought that it occurred due to the ancient version of bash on macOS, but as a I now know, readlink is a separate program and not a bash built-in, so it's a different issue... thus let's skip this patch here for now until we hit a real issue with bash again.
