the main difference is the configure option --enable-ksh which allows for you to use oksh as the system ksh. this option makes it get installed as /bin/ksh in /etc/shells. if you uncomment --enable-sh it can also provide sh, if for instance, you wanted to make a custom archiso that uses ksh as the system shell instead of bash. for that to work would require a custom bash PKGBUILD. sorry for the late reply!
