When /bin/sh points to dash the system won't boot exhibiting similar error messages to those shown in the debian bug (see URL). Furthermore emerging any software which is using the eauto* tools from autotools.eclass causes access violations.

Steps to reproduce:

1.) emerge =dash-0.5.6.1
2.) ln -sfnv dash /bin/sh
3a.) emerge dash
3b.) reboot   # and watch the boot process fail horribly...

Confirming and suggesting raising the priority as it can certainly can cause the system to become unbootable.

dropped keywords until debian releases a new version

Reopening as Debian recommends to simply remove the offending patch: http://bugs.debian.org/587353#20

add a "#328929" at the end of the `rm` line and that is fine to commit, thanks
