We test all the time on Ubuntu; see

There are still some things that depend on bash (and we need to get rid of
them). But please ask Scott to give details, since neither Jason or I are
seeing configure errors (doesn't mean they aren't there.) The solution is *not*
to change /bin/sh to /bin/bash -- the solution is to get rid of the dependence
on bash.
We have similar problems with people assuming that every make is GNU make.
I'm not sure that I can win this battle, since the use of GNU extensions is
so widespread....
