Don't even remember where you read this or more or less at what time?

It has been, but is no longer an issue since someone took the package
over.

On those Solaris boxes, "ksh" should be available, which should not be
too far from plain old bourne shell and then work ok with those.

BTW, we are only talking about the build process, not the execution
time, which does not depend upon any specific shell. On such old Solaris
boxes, I suspect there's really few people willing to build it anyway.

Anyway, if you own such a box, I would be interested in testing it
afterwards anyway.
