MirBSD Korn Shell

Edit Package mksh
http://mirbsd.de/mksh

mksh is the MirBSD enhanced version of the Public Domain Korn
shell (pdksh), a Bourne-compatible shell which is largely si‐
milar to the original AT&T Korn shell; mksh is the only pdksh
derivate currently being actively developed. It includes bug
fixes and feature improvements, in order to produce a modern,
robust shell good for interactive and especially script use.
mksh has UTF-8 support (in substring operations and the Emacs
editing mode) and, while R40e corresponds to OpenBSD 5.1-cur‐
rent ksh (without GNU bash-like PS1 and fancy character clas‐
ses), adheres to SUSv4 and is much more robust. The code has
been cleaned up and simplified, bugs fixed, standards compli‐
ance added, and several enhancements (for extended compatibi‐
lity to other modern shells – as well as a couple of its own)
are available. It has sensible defaults as usual with BSD.

Revision 20 (latest revision is 25)
Dominique Leuenberger's avatar Dominique Leuenberger (dimstar_suse) accepted request 728543 from Thorsten Glaser's avatar Thorsten Glaser (mirabile) (revision 20)
Fix FTBFS caused by someone enabling LTO implicitly system-wide by disabling LTO *again* (GCC’s is too buggy to use and generates wrong code).

The next upstream release (R58 most likely) will add -fno-lto to CFLAGS and LDFLAGS if GCC is detected as build compiler, solving this problem on a different level.
