According to the GNU Make manual, the shell that is used to spawn recipe lines,
is the value of Make variable $(SHELL) which is by default /bin/sh, unless it
is changed in a Makefile.
That is not to be confused of course with the parent shell variable $SHELL,
which is something else altogether, and yes, it is /bin/bash on my machine too.

Subject: Re: how to use a different /bin/sh with GNU Make?
/bin/sh is a link to /bin/bash on my machine
if you type echo $SHELL at the commandline what comes up? for me it's
"/bin/bash"
i.e. changing /bin/sh might not be helping you if your make is using
bash just because of the environment setting.
