I've adopted 3.2.3-5 (after previously reverting to 3.1-6) on my test box; since
I am trapped in a world where people demand to run scripts with evil DOS line
endings on them.
I exported SHELLOPTS=igncr in the Windows environment.
Big honking hairy underfunded build runs great until it hits a call to /bin/sh,
at which point the igncr functionality no longer holds.... causing a tremendous
gnashing of metal reminiscent of the roar of Godzilla.
Details:
bash --version
3.2.3(5)-release
sh --version
3.1.17(9)-release
sh
sh: igncr: invalid option name
Is this by design or unintended?
