Hmmm.... Prepending "." to the value of PATH doesn't work, I don't understand why it would either. So GNU make does not work with the bash shell? (This is in contrast to any experience I've ever had on any UNIX platform.) What shells do work? :-| I thought when I execute a $(shell ...) function or I have a command that runs, that command is supposed to be run by the shell? If that is the case, this seems like a GNU make bug to me, because GNU make is not spawning a shell, and the behavior is not equivalent to the behavior when spawning a shell.
