                          Most parts of the build require HOST_SH to be an

        If a host system's default shell does support the required features, then
        we suggest that you explicitly specify a suitable shell using a command
        like
   
              /path/to/suitable/shell build.sh [options]
   
        The above command will usually enable build.sh to automatically set
        HOST_SH=/path/to/suitable/shell, but if that fails, then the following
        set of commands may be used instead:
   
              HOST_SH=/path/to/suitable/shell
              export HOST_SH
              ${HOST_SH} build.sh [options]
   
        If build.sh detects that it is being executed under an unsuitable shell,
        it attempts to exec a suitable shell instead, or prints an error message.
        If HOST_SH is not set explicitly, then build.sh sets a default using
        heuristics dependent on the host platform, or from the shell under which
        build.sh is executed (if that can be determined), or using the first copy
        of sh found in PATH.
