The package script searches for a good shell to run the build
scripts, preferring a ksh. But it also finds any recently compiled
development version of ksh in arch/*/bin that may be broken, or
have debug code, etc. -- and uses that in preference to anything
else. This is quite capable of breaking the build process.
The way to get around it is to do something like
bin/package make SHELL=/bin/ksh
which is annoying to have to keep doing.
bin/package,
src/cmd/INIT/package.sh:
- When finding a good shell, use the saved user path ($path), not
the current $PATH which includes arch/$HOSTTYPE/bin. Prefix this
temporary path with `getconf PATH`, the system's default path,
so that known-good system shells are found first.
