Hmm. I just noticed the mm@ removed patch-configure from the port as
the upstream now uses sh. So there is a problem, but it is not with
the port. Looks like the upstream switched to sh, but sis not remove
all of the "bash"isms.

I edited configure to change from sh to bash and that makes it
configure and build correctly. Looks like the configure script needs a
bit of love to work correctly with sh, though I still am baffled as to
why if built on 2 systems and failed on one.
