I have little knowledge about the packaging process, but let my try looking at 
this here. In my experience, it is always good to focus on the error messages.

In this situation, I am not sure what exactly is failing here:
1. There is no /bin/sh in the build environment,
2. or /bin/sh complains that whatever file it is asked to open does not exist.

To narrow the possibilites, I suggest to add a build phase before 'bootstrap 
in which you ~ ( invoke ( which "ls" ) "-l" "/bin" ) ~ to check the case nr 1.
