Interesting. For the bash test, try
SHELL := /bin/bash --noprofile --norc
If that doesn't work, try adding --posix.
You might also want to try running the makefile from within a non-bash
interactive shell, e.g. /bin/ksh.
If that isolates the problem, I would recommend that in general you use a
bourne-derived shell that isn't the same as your default interactive shell.
