Port Selfupdate failed - Mountain Lion OS X

[Gregory Shenaut]

If you have a file, call it X, containing the following:

> '/bin/echo -n "$IFS" | hexdump'
> cc

and you then run the command « sh < X », you get:

> sh: line 1: /bin/echo -n "$IFS" | hexdump: No such file or directory
> clang: error: no input files

on my 10.9.4 system (which is having no problems I am aware of). This is quite similar to the error message being discussed.

Furthermore, the command « cmp -b /bin/sh /bin/bash » produces

> /bin/sh /bin/bash differ: byte 23, line 1 is 130 X 127 W
