The latest releases of OS X use bash as /bin/sh so this problem no 
longer exists.  I have no problems building any of the GNU toolchain or 
RTEMS on OS X.  For some examples on how to do this, see the 
'Infrastructure - Tools and Operating System' section of a tutorial I 
wrote on using EPICS with RTEMS.  The document is at:
