Note that 20240711 is not yet posted - that was a beta tarball I pointed
you to - it will go away when actual posting happens.

FYI apart from using new bmake versions at work to build Junos (a
torture test for make), I typically wait until NetBSD make is quiescent.
Which is why ChangeLog shows many versions which never get posted.

I will take a look.

I build every bmake release on Darwin and all tests pass.
It is just using /bin/sh which does not appear to be an alias for any of
the others:

Of course bmake is about all it normally gets used for building ;-)

sh-flags is marked broken for "ksh" it should probably be so marked for
*ksh*
