Martin, >you probably won't be able to build openjdk on a system without bash
Most certainly not, it appears I really wonder now if there's any policy/rule of thumb to not to use /bin/sh. I don't feel really comfortable if there would be such a policy. I've checked build docs and it seems that troubleshooting section could be a bit enhanced, though I guess that is given, that user knows how to change a /bin/sh symlink. So I don't know if it worth to do this.
