Result: if in /bin, sh is an alias to bash, it can compile. But if it's dash, then it just crashes at build time. Using: mkdir -p $(DESTDIR)/usr/share/man/man{5,8}I've applied this patch. Thanks.

Hard to prove a negative - but there's no reference to "brace expansion" in http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/xcu_chap02.html.
