PLEASE, DON'T copy /bin/bash to /bin/sh. It'll only serve to cause you grief someday when you update and ash has a new version and now your scripts won't work anymore. There are other reasons for having the default sh == ash, the main one of which is speed of execution of scripts and that includes make scripts.
