#12785: building in solaris 10: ./build.sh: syntax error at line 135: `machine=$'
unexpected
----------------------------+--------------------------
 Reporter:  anonymous       |       Type:  Bugs
   Status:  new             |  Milestone:  Boost 1.65.0
Component:  Building Boost  |    Version:  Boost 1.63.0
 Severity:  Problem         |   Keywords:
----------------------------+--------------------------
 This is happening because of:

 {{{
 tools/build/src/engine/build.sh:135:     machine=$(gcc -dumpmachine
 2>/dev/null)
 }}}

 In solaris 10 the version of csh standing in for /bin/sh doesn't allow
 that syntax.  As a workaround I changed the shebang line to use /bin/bash.
 Wherever scripts get executed by bootstrap.sh would it be possible to make
 it overtly call out a shell (eg, use ${SHELL}, ${CONFIG_SHELL} or
 something) instead of relying on the shebang line?
