I've adopted 3.2.3-5 (after previously reverting to 3.1-6) on my test box; since
I am trapped in a world where people demand to run scripts with evil DOS line
endings on them.

I exported SHELLOPTS=igncr in the Windows environment.

Big honking hairy underfunded build runs great until it hits a call to /bin/sh,
at which point the igncr functionality no longer holds.... causing a tremendous
gnashing of metal reminiscent of the roar of Godzilla.  

Details:

bash --version

3.2.3(5)-release

sh --version

3.1.17(9)-release

sh
sh: igncr: invalid option name

Is this by design or unintended?
