build - yes, with dash being `$(shell)'. All scripts with `#!/bin/bash'
of course use bash, example is gen_initramfs_list.sh.

which is what mkuboot.sh is using now

Trivial shell scripts, especially for embedded archs (Blackfin is
one, IIRC), may be easily converted.

yes, but Blackfin is no-mmu so converting the script to use POSIX
shell is pointless to us since no-mmu is not a self-hosting
environment
