Hi,

in linux/Makefile we have lines like this one here:

rm -f drivers/net/hamradio/soundmodem/sm_tbl_{hapn4800,psk4800}.h

but the why_am_i_{stupid,smart}.txt notation works only with bash (at
least it does not work with my /bin/sh - which is a "real" /bin/sh and
no bash).

At the top of the Makefile we set the variable CONFIG_SHELL which than
should be a bash (if possible). Why don't setting the variable SHELL to
the value of CONFIG_SHELL? If we need bash features we should force to
use bash - or don't use bash features.
