It has same problem.

% /bin/sh configure

I figure out that setting SHELL environment variable to /bin/sh works.

        % SHELL=/bin/sh ./configure

If login shell is zsh, login(1) is automatically set SHELL to
/usr/local/bin/zsh.  So zsh user who does not install bash (see below)
may have same problem.

I've installed bash.  /bin/sh configure uses bash somehow.
