What does that even *mean*?
If one of the *scripts* that you *execute* during the build uses csh,
well, OK. I would write off that particular application as "likely to
be broken", but IIRC you do a lot of "academia" stuff, and academia
clung to csh long after it had already begun to smell funny.
But having a *script* that needs csh does not mean you need to run csh
as your *interactive* shell. That's totally different.

Ask your academia comrades. Nobody outside of academia will know, because
nobody else still uses csh. For anything. It's just bad.
