Message:: portable: running tests when shell is dash Ubuntu's default shell is dash, when using /bin/sh. The portable nature of got is such that "$OSTYPE" to determine the host type (linux, bsd, etc.) is bash-specific and is not part of POSIX. autotools already provide a mechanism for determining the underlying platform type, and PLATFORM is already a subst value. Therefore, let the -portable parts of the regress test-suite use $PLATFORM to look at the underlying OS type. The tests themselves already expect /bin/sh to be POSIX-compliant in all other areas, so there should be no need to change the #! lines.
