%general-entities; %patches-entities; ]> Bash tools Bash has a problem when compiled against newer versions of Glibc, causing it to hang inappropriately. This patch fixes the problem: patch -Np1 -i ../&bash-avoid_WCONTINUED-patch; Prepare Bash for compilation: ./configure --prefix=/tools --without-bash-malloc The meaning of the configure options: --without-bash-malloc This options turns off the use of Bash's memory allocation (malloc) function which is known to cause segmentation faults. By turning this option off, Bash will use the malloc functions from Glibc which are more stable. Compile the package: make To test the results, issue: make tests. Install the package: make install Make a link for the programs that use sh for a shell: ln -s bash /tools/bin/sh
