Having the scripts work with other shells is very helpful for porting,
cross building and the like.
I think it is fair game to require bash to build the
kernel -- after all, GCC and GNU make are required
already, and bash has many helpful features that not
every POSIX shell has.
Also on Linux /bin/sh is not neccessarily /bin/bash.
Yes, it would be ridiculous to require /bin/sh to be
bash. Especially since bash is installed as /bin/bash
always :-)
