Hi,

You're building on ubuntu where the default shell equals dash.
The functionality that the gmp library is trying to use does not work
is dash, but bash is needed

I was preparing a patch for ct-ng so that you could override the
shells used in the config scripts this,
haven't had time to publish it to the mailing list yet,

I attached it to this mail for now, will publish it to the mailing
list when I have more time this weekend

       Saying 'y' here should be safe enough, but some components may not
       accept using a shell other than bash (this is most probably true for
-      old versions). If you have trouble, say 'n' here and see if it fixes it.
