>Description:
The current Ubuntu shell (version 3.2.13(1), version 3.2.25(1), ...) has some bug. Due to this the impossible to build /bin/sh in cross-compiling mode on at least Ubuntu 7.04 and 7.10.

The problem was also discussed a few months ago, but it still isn't resolved in proper way.

 Module Name:	src
 Committed By:	apb
 Date:		Thu Oct 23 20:21:57 UTC 2008

 Modified Files:
 	src/bin/sh: mkinit.sh

 Log Message:
 Don't try to remove trailing newlines from shell variables via
 constructs like ${var%$nl}.  Apparently this allows the Ubuntu Linux
 /bin/sh (dash) to be used as a host shell during the build.
