Yes it will. The only problem is that the autoconfiguration procedures mistakenly think that 386BSD is a USGr3 system. I was too lazy to find out what the problem was and just fixed up the bash-Makefile that is generated: just change OS from USG to Bsd; remove the -DUSGr3 and remove -lPW. Alternatively, I think that there is a bash binary in the etc01 archive. Chris Flatters cflatter@nrao.edu
