You're right, autoconf scripts do not depend on bash and work fine on
any reasonably compliant POSIX shell, including recent zsh versions.

However, posh is non-compliant, bug-ridden, unmaintained, generally
broken, and should not be used. Your problem would be solved by deleting
posh and using dash for /bin/sh instead.
