No, there is a no requirement on a "specific" shell.  Any
standards-compliant one will do.  You keep missing that point.

There is no such thing as a "gcc toolchain" and we surely do not depend
on it.

It it not a "bash" script and no strings are replaced.  What was your

Not true, this is only required for generating dependency information.
Patches welcome, gcc's dependency generation works bad enough as is.

Are you aware that FFmpeg can be compiled with other compilers apart
from gcc?  Or are you going to call them "too similar to gcc" anyway?
