None of the GNV PCSI kits appear to have a working Bash.

You will need to update bash, ld_tools, gawk, grep, sed, and coreutils.

Read the release notes, especially for ld_tools.

The "gcc" alias will be removed by the ld_tools installation as its 
presence was a bug that caused other problems from software that assumed 
it was a real GCC, even after verifying it was not a real GCC.

The GNV package does not actually install any compilers, just a wrapper 
tool that translates the Unix syntax to the VMS syntax used by the VMS 
compiler.  The ld_tools kit will only create wrappers for compilers that 
are installed.

Again, read all the release notes for the updated modules before 
attempting to run any configure/make scripts.

If you want the descrip.mms files to work on ODS-5 volumes with mixed or 
lower case filenames, you need MMK.
