A different approach has been taken as of commit 
713ce9a1618961cbf9492cbc0023d07f0b83df95:  the dejagnu(1) launcher now 
first walks the PATH returned by `getconf PATH` (and then the user's 
$PATH) for an "sh" in search of a POSIX shell.  A similar strategy finds 
/usr/xpg4/bin/awk on Solaris 10, which is the POSIX Awk on that system, 
so this should allow the command scripts, but not the launcher itself, 
to assume a POSIX shell.

Does this also fix your problem?
