Don't have specific code for GNU/kFreeBSD. It is handled the same.

We only had these workarounds for bad code in the legacy wrappers whichshould be removed anyway. I'd rather we just removed this stuffcompletely and fix up any places where we're still using incompatiblesequences.

A few years back when I was performing full bulk builds with dash, I hadthese changes:


  https://github.com/joyent/pkgsrc-legacy/commit/624fd0785e70e89d5e1fef745060efee0aca0da3
  https://github.com/joyent/pkgsrc-legacy/commit/b7d9205aa23be3e91789c1b0350edc00812baa1a

The other changes (e.g. fixing configure scripts to use $ac_echo) havealready been committed. And obviously I haven't used the legacywrappers for over 5 years now.
