Hello,
If you use Automake from Guix, I highly recommend upgrading.
Commit 63b7c6c fixes a bug whereby scripts installed by ‘automake -a’
(config.guess, install-sh, etc.) would contain patched shebangs–e.g.,
/nix/store/.../bin/sh instead of /bin/sh.
This is not what you want when these files are shipped in tarballs,
because that’s unlikely to work at the user site.
“Fortunately”, most of these files are invoked as “$SHELL ./the-file”,
so the shebang isn’t actually used. There’s at least an exception for
‘install-sh’, as reported at <http://bugs.gnu.org/14201>.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
Ludo’.
