Yes it will.  The only problem is that the autoconfiguration procedures
mistakenly think that 386BSD is a USGr3 system.  I was too lazy to
find out what the problem was and just fixed up the bash-Makefile
that is generated: just change OS from USG to Bsd; remove the -DUSGr3
and remove -lPW.

Alternatively, I think that there is a bash binary in the etc01 archive.
