Indeed! But I get anyway SHELL set to /bin/bash in /Makefile, and to /bin/sh in
/arch/arm/imx-common/makefile.

I don't see SHELL being set anywhere else, and $(MAKE) SHELL=$(SHELL) works.

That's really weird. It's like SHELL export was ignored, or applied before the
assignment. I will further dig into this.

Best regards,
Benoît
