[U-Boot] [PATCH] Use bash for default GNU Make shell application

[Peter Tyser]

Some Make script commands rely on bash-specific features so
default to bash for the SHELL variable with a fallback to the
standard sh shell

Commands such as these from the top-level Makefile failed
on my Ubuntu 7.04 system which has the sh shell as a symlink
to /bin/dash:
	@rm -f $(obj)tools/{fdt_wip.c,libfdt_internal.h}

Eugene O'Brien caught the same issue in this thread:
