Well, I'd suggest you to extend your configure script to detect a
suitable shell (I guess you actually are looking for shell supporting
for some features which were missing in the original Bourne shell 10
years+ ago),
or FE should simply sed the /bin/ksh to /bin/bash or even /bin/sh from
the sources inside of the rpm spec.
