Sorry, but I can't solve your dash and/or libtool problems for you. If
you can propose a patch that cleanly solves it, by all means let me
know. It sounds more like a libtool issue than anything in TL, that it
needs to check shell attributes at runtime or something.
As far as I can see, TL doesn't generate any libtool script; we just use
the libtool in the environment. Peter B and I have used the latest GNU
releases for libtool and the autotools, installed directly from the
ftp.gnu.org sources.
If I'm wrong about this and there's some TL-specific issue, tell me.
would be to remove the '$(SHELL)' from the recursive configure
No, that would be wrong. The purpose of using $(SHELL) is to let users
have the final say on shell choices. In any event, again those rules
are again generated by automake/autoconf, not TL.
Best,
karl
