I'm definitely against that. My system has /bin/sh pointing to dash,
and Buildroot works fine. One of the thing that annoyed me in
OpenEmbedded was its requirements to have /bin/sh be bash.
We clearly don't want that.
I've just checked the Free Electrons autobuilders, and there are also
using dash as /bin/sh. This means that if configure scripts were using
bashims unsupported by dash, we would have noticed.
