Re: not a bug but some strange behaviour

[jean-luc malet]

well I'm replying to myself ;)

so there was a combinaison of several issues

1) if bash as no config files it seems that it strip the env
2) if make don't find the SHELL it don't complain and run it using
cmd? bash? (in case of cygwin) and then strip the env

so the fixes was :
run all shell wrapper through sh
put SHELL = sh

now it seems to work fine... result in 4h of build...
thanks for the support
