[lug] [OT] Autoconf question

[Scott Herod]

A bit OT...

I've built autoconf for myself on a machine on which I do not have root
access.  By default, autoconf creates scripts which run /bin/sh.
For some reason all of the "evals" in the configure scripts are
r e a l l y   s l o w.  If I switch the /bin/sh to /bin/bash in the
configure scripts, they run _much_ faster.  Is it possible to build
autoconf so that it creates scripts with first line "#! /bin/bash"
rather than "#! /bin/sh"?

(For what it's worth, this is on a Solaris 5.8 box.)

Thanks,

Scott
