Unfortunately, pulling up /bin/sh and usr.bin/printf sources
result in the same solid problem.

Can any one give me a quick advise, how to modify the makefile to 
build sh with debug info?
The sh used seams to be an ash.
And my SS4 seems to be the right machine to lock for that problem. sig.


As a work around an sh for a 1.6.2 Distribution can be used.
But also libtool seems to suffer. (Only now and than)

Last think was wrong. pulling up usr.bin/printf was needed.
