While the non-posix substring expansions and replacement expansions are in use in portage already; they currently do not always work properly.

.githooks/pre-commit: 28: testing/gcc-cross-embedded/APKBUILD: Bad substitution

where line 28 reads: targetnorm="${target//-/_}"

So best to avoid this construct when it doesn't even work all the time.

A good replacement is: targetnorm="$(echo "${target}" | tr - _)"

which is posix compliant and works.
