Building wip/bup-git on macOS 15 (supported, 1 version back), configure failed bacause /bin/bash, picked up as TOOLS+=bash, is version 3, and the rest of the world has been on bash 4 and now 5 for a really long time. I therefore suggest commenting out the TOOLS_PLATFORM.bash in mk/tools/Darwin.mk so pkgsrc bash is used. Doing so made the bup build work fine. I know we're in careful mode now, and I don't want to just land this without asking. My guess is that it's a net win for stability and I wouldn't be surprised if something that's broken now starts working. It's also easy to revert. So wiz@, whoever is running Q3, everyone else: WDYT?
