with the new handling of SHELL, gcc fails to build under non posix compatible
shells (like tcsh) or if the env SHELL is set to a non-existant shell (think
zsh on the host system and chrooting into a local filesystem and using
bash ... bash by design doesnt reset the SHELL=/bin/zsh value)
the bit of code that's failing in gcc-3.4.6 is where make executes a shell
script which constructs a commandline for make to then use to execute other
stuff ... but it all boils down to this:
$ cat test.sh
#!/bin/sh
echo $SHELL
$ cat test.mak
SHELL=/bin/sh
all:
@./test.sh
$ tcsh
$ setenv SHELL /bin/tcsh # normally the login shell does this for us ...
$ make-3.81 -f test.mak
/bin/tcsh
$ make-3.80 -f test.mak
/bin/sh
so the question is, should gcc be making sure that the shell scripts that use
SHELL pull the value from configure ? or is make broken ?
