I never copied over the example mk.conf and overlooked that one line in 
it. Maybe the comment in the generated mk.conf can be explain it so I

Is there any reason why this shouldn't/couldn't be done also in the tools

Oky, I reinstalled libtool-base built with TOOLS_PLATFORM.sh=/bin/bash.
And now glib2 builds and installs fine with default "dash".
