Why is this any more a "conflict" than that between /usr/bin/passwd and
/etc/passwd? OK, so /etc/rc is executable, which /etc/passwd isn't, but
surely you don't ever want to run /etc/rc by hand? And even if you do,
who puts /etc in their path? (I don't use AIX, by the way.)

Sounds a bit close to `tcsh' to me :-). But if that's what you want,
just say
sh configure '--program-suffix=sh'
You can also use `--program-prefix' to tack things onto the beginning of
the name, or `--program-transform-name' to do arbitrarily weird things
to it.
Tim.
