I did that before. If you use the Bash-2.01 beta, most problems will
be solved. I have sent some patches to the (very cooperative)
maintainer, for handling text/binary mode, etc. Last time I looked,
the patches were in, and probably the only problems you will encounter
are in libtool/Autoconf/Automake. IIRC, the distribution is LFN-clean,
except for config.h.in maybe, which should be renamed config.h-in.
Then, the file configure.in should also contain a pointer to
config.h:config.h-in.

Even 'make check' runs ok if you use the right program to compare.

If you still have problems, I could dig for some old patches.
