Yep. The new /bin/sh is bash. Apparently, bash doesn't like the
following line:
if [ "`echo $dllname | sed 's{^lib/.*\.dll${{'`" != "$dllname" ]; then
because in bash, ${ has special meaning -- it starts a variable reference.
FWIW, I get the same error with "bash -n wingcc_ld.sh" when bash is
version 2.05b. I suspect this may actually be a bug in bash, since single
quotes ought to stop it from trying to expand variable references. This
only happens when the single quotes are inside a shell substitution (i.e.,
"echo '${'" works, but "echo `echo '${'`" doesn't). Nevertheless,
changing the '{' to any other character (e.g., '#') in the sed script
makes it parse correctly.
