There are a couple problems with that:
a) ~/.bashrc is not read if bash is called with the name "sh", which it is
(if i'm not mistaken) by default. That means you need this line at the top
of your makefile:
SHELL := /path/to/bash
Also, read 'man bash':
~/.bashrc
The individual per-interactive-shell startup file
per INTERACTIVE shell. Make shells are non-interactive.
