  Although most shells will accept #!/bin/foo, there are systems that
  recognize that something is a script by looking at the first
  four bytes, using "#! /" as magic "number".
  
I don't know of any such system, and with my change, the automated GMP
build started to work on all 50 daily build systems.

It is well-known that many old Unix systems reject scripts with a
apace.  En example is SunOS 4.x.  Can you give an example of a system
that actually require a space?
