It is, somewhat. There is a pre-built port of GNU bash 2.03 for the platform, but I was trying to see how far things could go with the OS's supported shell before having to bring in unsupported dependencies. Unfortunately, I do not believe the OS fully conforms to POSIX.1-2001 yet, so that means no "-P" or "-L" without going rogue.

I'll carry test fixes for this platform locally.
Thanks.
David
