My solution to this problem was to select Word Wrap in Text Modes and then
Save Options, both in the Options menu.  I have just checked, and this setup
enables auto fill in text mode but not in either of sh or makefile modes.

The result (I assume) was to add this customization line within
custom-set-variables to my .emacs:

 '(text-mode-hook (quote (turn-on-auto-fill text-mode-hook-identify)))

You could probably do much the same thing without using customization, but I
haven't tried.
