Package: make
Version: 4.3-4
Severity: normal

"make" doesn't execute recipes with /bin/sh. For instance, consider
the following Makefile file:

----------------------------------------
SHELL = /bin/sh

all:
        true
----------------------------------------

and put a script called "true" in your path, containing:

echo foo
exit 1

I get:

$ make
true
foo
make: *** [Makefile:4: all] Error 1

There is no such issue with other SHELL values.

Note: according to POSIX, "true", like some other utilities, is
not subject to PATH search.
