Thanks for your explanation, please check my other mail I just sent.
If we can fix the mksh build system, it might become a valid candidate
for the default shell in sta.li, probably even sbase (though for sbase
David must decide if he'd be willing to accept this, I don't have a
stake in sbase).

Best regards,
Anselm
