Did you actually *test* that (expecially) these lines work
afterwards as good as before?

Yup, as it's in a Makefile and that's a Makefile construct.

Such stuff should generally not be needed as the to-be-used
shell can be set in Makefiles via a "SHELL = " assignment
(defaulting to /bin/sh - what else;-).
Flags for the shell can BTW set with ".SHELLFLAGS = ".

So please
-) learn basic "Makefile" + "make" before brainlessly patching
   a Makefile.
-) actually testy your changes to make sure the patch didn't
   broke anything
-) and - last but not least - check if there isn't a shell
   already set (and which).

MfG,
	Bernd
