[config] Warn againt using ash as CONFIG_SHELL

It apears that more and more ./configure scripts and Makefiles
make use of non-POSIXly correct shell constructs, that don't
work with ash.

For now, just warn the user against using ash, but keep it as
an option in case newer versions of the /broken/ components
come fixed, and we can again use ash, as it is in some cases
really faster than bash.

     3 reporter_comment="This is a sample config file for Freescale e500v2 processors (e.g.,

     4 MPC8548, MPC8572).  It uses eglibc (for e500/SPE patches) and a recent

     5 gcc (4.3.1, for e500v2 DPFP support) and will generate appropriate

     6 dual-precision floating point instructions by default.

     8 Note: If building a Linux kernel with this toolchain, you will want to

     9 make sure -mno-spe AND -mspe=no are passed to gcc to prevent SPE

    10 ABI/instructions from getting into the kernel (which is currently

    11 unsupported).  At this time, the kernel build system only passes

    12 -mno-spe by default (this should be fixed soon hopefully)."
