When looking into gen-offsets.sh [0] I've realized there's a strange shebang in the script ":", is this normal? Replacing ":" with "#!/bin/sh" solves the problem, but I don't understand why the ":" shebang works for some (on Debian stable it works ok) and what it means.
I've no idea either -- I've copied the seabios ML.
It's an old-style way of indicating the file is a shell script. I wasn't aware this creeped in there - it should be converted to the more standard style.
