After you upgrade bash, you may also want to look into upgrading gcc
to the 4.2.1 Technology Preview.

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435&package_id=241304&release_id=532062

I know after I finished compiling the 8-20 SVN, my app was dumping
with a message similar to:

Compiler did not align stack variables. Libavcodec has been
miscompiled. Please use GCC 4.2

I upgraded, and all was well.

Anyway, maybe that will help you save to time in the long run.
