Mail to bug-gnu-gettext is routed to bug-gnu-utils at gnu.org.
You can subscribe to that (traffic isn't too high).

There should be no need for that.  You could try
  CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash /usr/local/bin/bash configure \
    CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash [OPTIONS...]

(the repetition of CONFIG_SHELL is due to a limitation in current
Autoconf).

So does
  case CC in *[!-_A-Za-z0-9,/]*) echo broken;; esac

print anything on this shell?  If yes, I guess the maintainer of the
shell would like to hear about it -- could you report this bug?
