This doesn't necessarily follow.  Solaris' /bin/sh, for example, has a
bug that causes it to *sometimes* crash while running ltconfig.  Being
too slow when processing certain constructs present in
libstdc++-v3/configure is arguably a performance bug in whatever shell
you're running, and setting CONFIG_SHELL to some more efficient shell
is a possible work-around.
