macOS system bash inadequate
Building wip/bup-git on macOS 15 (supported, 1 version back), configure
failed bacause /bin/bash, picked up as TOOLS+=bash, is version 3, and
the rest of the world has been on bash 4 and now 5 for a really long
time.
I therefore suggest commenting out the TOOLS_PLATFORM.bash in
mk/tools/Darwin.mk so pkgsrc bash is used. Doing so made the bup build
work fine.
I know we're in careful mode now, and I don't want to just land this
without asking. My guess is that it's a net win for stability and I
wouldn't be surprised if something that's broken now starts working.
It's also easy to revert.
So wiz@, whoever is running Q3, everyone else: WDYT?
