[ELDK] [RFSB] problem with creating directories

[Martin Krause]

OK, I found the Problem. If the 'SHELL' variable is not defined in
the Makefile, make uses 'bin/sh' as the default shell. And on my system
'bin/sh' is a symbolic link to 'bin/dash' (true for all ubuntu systems
since version 6.10). And the dash does not support {} brace expansion
for strings

I fixed this by setting SHELL to /bin/bash in the makefile:

diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile
index eb69485..88de554 100644
--- a/Makefile
+++ b/Makefile
@@ -21,6 +21,7 @@
 # Just run 'make menuconfig', configure stuff, then run 'make'.
 # All hope abandon, ye who enter in!
 #############################################################
+SHELL             = /bin/bash
 TOPDIR		  := $(shell pwd)
 CONFIG_CONFIG_IN   = Config.in
 CONFIG_DEFCONFIG   = .defconfig

Martin
