As for perl/pdksh, I already mentioned and have worked around for SunOS
the use of bash because of the documented bash'isms in perl. That was a 
few versions back already, though...

Just tried pdksh on ABI=32 and that seems to build/test ok (well, the locale
errors are still there but that is a different proble), so perhaps perl
cleaned up their scripts as I see now explicit support for ksh and pdksh.

If ABI=64 works as well, then as far as I'm concerned the bash shell
override hack can be reverted.
