Problem with new bash "exec" shell script command on PPC
The following shell script behave incorrectly with the last bash
package. It correctly build the makefile but then instead of
exiting it continue to execute I wonder what.
NB : replacing #!/bin/sh to #!/usr/bin/ksh fix the problem so I'm pretty
sure it comes from bash.
NB2 : the old PPC bash package did not exibit this problem...
