 Using /bin/sh from 20250801170320Z also appears to run "make configure"
 in pkgsrc/net/libcmis without issues.  This would seem to indicate the
 `cd ""' changes as the culprit.
 
 I think the code in m4/boost.m4 (included in configure) ends up running
 "cd ''" and does not survive it.  I'm not sure why it does not survive it,
 but the following change would avoid the "cd" and appears to work.
