I have the same problem.

Wouldn't it be better to change libvpx-2-fix-bin-bash.patch to replace
'#!/bin/bash' with '#!/usr/bin/env bash' instead of '#!/bin/sh'? That's
the standard way to run a script with bash if the location of bash is
unknown but in PATH (e.g. on the BSDs).

This fixes the issue at least on Ubuntu 11.10, where /bin/sh is dash
and not bash.
