1.13 + Use /bin/ash as the shell used by ./configure scripts.
1.14 +
1.15 + ./configure scripts make intensive use of calling a sub-shell, and the
1.16 + traditional bash is slow, whereas ash is faster.

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