Being too slow when processing certain constructs present in
libstdc++-v3/configure is arguably a performance bug in whatever shell
you're running, and setting CONFIG_SHELL to some more efficient shell
is a possible work-around.
I did
setenv CONFIG_SHELL /usr/local/bin/bash
setenv SHELL /usr/local/bin/bash
and reran configure and exactly the same thing happened.
I don't see how either would override the "#/bin/sh", though.
I think this needs to be written in a way that shells that people are
goign to be using work reasonably. Users aren't going to tolerate
configure times of nearly two hours any more than I am.
