I am using a Debian Testing machine (its not quite up to date):

----------------------------------------------------------------------
$ ls -l /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Jul  7  2010 /bin/sh -> bash
$ bash --version

I am also using a cross compiler and O= on the command line if that
matters.  '.' is not in my path and .config is not executable.  If I cd
to the object directory, then ". .config" works fine.

But bash in sh mode does not work:

$ cat xtst.sh
#!/bin/sh

cd /scratch/sfr/powerpc_ppc64_defconfig

. .config

exit 0
$ ./xtst.sh
./xtst.sh: line 5: .: .config: file not found
$ ls -l /scratch/sfr/powerpc_ppc64_defconfig/.config
-rw-r--r-- 1 sfr users 79005 Feb 25 15:45 /scratch/sfr/powerpc_ppc64_defconfig/.config

Changing the ". .config" to ". ./.config" makes it work.

Anything else?
