configure did/does prefer bash but can run with dash, either on systems 
where bash is not available or when CONFIG_SHELL is set to bypass the 
automatic switch to bash. This has been working for years, and I very 
much suspect that if you run with a slightly older version of dash, you 
will see that it also works for you.
