I haven't got around to updating our distribution. One of the reasons for this
is that bash is notorious for breaking cross compiled builds. For example, it
builds header files based on build machine architecture during compilation.
So for example, wrong signal tables can be used for a particular
architecture.
We 'fix' some of these behaviours so that an upgraded copy of bash
can be built that works correctly on our distro.

This is definitely something we can do. I'll get on it asap.
