MirBSD Korn Shell
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.

[tg] Trick a GCC warning, to make up for it ignoring lint(1) hints
[tg] Add O_MAYEXEC support for CLIP OS
[tg] Make dup-to-self with ksh-style fd≥3 closing work; catern via IRC

- Switch from patching check.t, sh.h and Build.sh to using
KSH_VERSIONNAME_VENDOR_EXT and appending to CPPFLAGS beforehand
- Remove qemu/ppc patches that are upstreamed/no longer necessary
- Drop LTO support which was already always disabled
- Handle newer GCC note output during configure stage
- Ensure KSH_VERSIONNAME_VENDOR_EXT is always set to something,
because the patch deviating from upstream is always applied
- Remove virt-what from build dependencies, it just fails or,
worse, makes the package unresolvable; also from lewellyn
