Actually, this patch has broken things in various ways. Consider e.g.
file2c.tcl in the romfs package. The CDL invokes this using e.g.:
sh file2c.tcl testromfs_le.bin testromfs_le.h
With the old magic this still worked fine because sh would ignore the
#! at the start completely and move on to the 'exec sh -c' on line 3.
With the new '#!/usr/bin/env tclsh' the sh invocation ignores the
#! comment on line 1 so ends up trying to run the whole Tcl script as
a shell script. Needless to say this is not very successful.
io/framebuf is similarly affected. services/memalloc/common is not. I
have not yet checked all the other packages that use Tcl scripts.
Possible solutions are:
1) revert the change
2) remove the 'sh' bits from the relevant CDL scripts, treating the
Tcl script as plain executables.
3) make the CDL invoke /usr/bin/env tclsh directly, treating the
Tcl scripts as Tcl scripts.
(1) would be a bad move. I think I would prefer (3) to (2).
