Re: how to use a different /bin/sh with GNU Make?

[Mark Galeck]

I mean, I guess my big problem is this.
I have a massively GNU Make recursive system.  (Yes I know it is a bad thing;  
I did not write it myself).  
I hacked a shell to do some custom stuff, and I want to use the hacked shell 
with GNU Make.

I can't very well use the SHELL hack, because that would mean, I would have to 
modify every single Makefile, of which there are gazillions.
I could (and I am doing it right now) grok the job.c file of GNU Make to figure 
out how to change it to accept my modified shell.  But it's not easy and I 
don't really want to hack GNU Make if I can help it.  

Is there another way to get massively recursive GNU Make system to accept a 
custom shell.  

Thank you,
Mark

It would be very helpful if you provided an example of the recipe you're
using.  Without that we can only speculate.
