Check this file:

config/PETSc/utilities/petscdir.py

See the lines

      host   = config.base.Configure.executeShellCommand(self.shell+'
'+configGuess, log = self.framework.log)[0]
      output = config.base.Configure.executeShellCommand(self.shell+'
'+configSub+' '+host, log = self.framework.log)[0]

then see that 'self.shell' is naively defined to '/bin/sh' in
Script.__init__() in the file below

config/BuildSystem/script.py
