Yes. It uses GNU bash 2.03.

Alternative solutions would be
- to create the "make" executable under the name "xmake". This is what gcc
  does.
- to create the "make" executable in a subdirectory, say "bin/make".
- to move the entire sources to a src/ subdirectory. This will work, because
  many people have "." in their $PATH, but noone has "src" there.
