There is a sanity check to `/bin/sh' to dash or bash

`eaa0dc2 sanity.bbclass: Only verify /bin/sh link if it's a link'

`ecdfdd7 sanity.bbclass: check /bin/sh is dash or bash'

If revert this patch, we will have the issue which this patch have fixed.

There is another patch in mailing list that fix the issue you report

[OE-core] [PATCH] devshell.bbclass/terminal.bbclass: add a shell check 
at devshell

While var-SHELL is neither `bash' or `dash', such as
`csh', loading the wrapper script will fail at devshell,
because csh does not support syntax `export'.

Add a shell check at devshell, and use `/bin/sh' to replace
if shell is neither `bash' or `dash'. `/bin/sh' is safe to
use since `ecdfdd7 sanity.bbclass: check /bin/sh is dash
or bash'
