    | gnu-configure.mk sets CONFIG_SHELL before invoking configure;
    | thus, nonexistent $SHELL should never happen now.
 
 It isn't the config stage that is the problem, which still exists.
 
 It is a bit difficult for me to test easily any more, as I now have
 my build procedure set up to always simply set SHELL to /bin/sh before
 attempting to build anything, but I did the build in a slightly abnormal
 way for me (still using pkg_comp so it builds in an almost empty sandbox)
 and I still get errors as shown below.
 
 Since setting SHELL=/bin/sh in the environment avoids this, it is clearly
 a problem caused by having SHELL in the environment set to something that
 doesn't exist (you could probably reproduce the same thing by building
 with SHELL=/nonexistant/garbage - though you'd have to get the Makefiles
 to work that way I guess).

 ps: here's the end of the build log of a build of devel/autogen I just
 attempted, where SHELL remained set to my login value of /usr/pkg/bin/bash
 when I started the build.  The relevant line is the "Could not execvp..."
 near the top of the log fragment.
