And neither does bash on solaris for some reason.

If you search the archives, you should find a post
from me with this as well, though I was doing
solaris -> ppc.

My fix was to not hardcode sh, and use the
env variable $SHELL in the crosstool scripts.
On Solaris, I had success with ksh as you did.

I already asked Dan to pick that stuff up for
the next version of crosstool changes.

You might also hit this with sed later on as well, you need
gnu sed (named sed) in your path first before /bin/sed.
