configure and build errors on Solaris 10 due to /bin/sh usage

Running `LANG=C LC_ALL=C ./configure --prefix=... --install=/usr/ucb/install` on Solaris 10 amd64 results in the following errors:

./configure: bad substitution
./configure: !: not found
./configure: curl-config: not found
./configure: curl-config: not found

Error: invalid trace backend
Please choose a supported trace backend.


Unfortunately it doesn't print the line numbers of the errors. It must be somewhere after the check for `install`.

The first few can be resolved by running `bash ./configure ...` instead. 

The "check if trace backend exists" hardcodes `sh "$source_path/tracetool" ...` in configure. Replacing sh with bash makes it work.

`gmake` complains "Makefile:331: no file name for -include", which is a filter for *.d files.
`create_config` gets the 'bad substitution' error as well. Replacing sh with bash in rules.mak works.
etc.

To sum it up,
a) there are shell script incompatibilities with Solaris 10's /bin/sh shell, and
b) hardcoding 'sh' in configure or Makefiles seems like a bad idea.
