- Subject: [committed] PR15747: Document /bin/sh hang on mips-sgi-irix5
PR bootstrap/15747 reports that /bin/sh can hang on mips-sgi-irix5
and that (as on other platforms) CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/ksh will work
around this.
The patch below updates install.texi accordingly. I copied the
smallexample formatting (" % ", etc.) from other examples.
Tested using "make info" and "make dvi". Installed on mainline
and 3.4 branch.

when configuring GCC@. You need to use GNU @command{ar} and @command{nm},
also distributed with GNU binutils.
+ Some users have reported that @command{/bin/sh} will hang during bootstrap.
+ This problem can be avoided by running the commands:
+
+ @smallexample
+ % CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/ksh
+ % export CONFIG_SHELL
+ @end smallexample
+
+ before starting the build.
