As far as I know, ksh doesn't support pipefail. If so, it's not a "problem" in that shell; the problem is you're trying to use a bash-specific extension (pipefail option) in a shell other than bash. Personally, I would be very unhappy to run across a makefile that was built to only work with bash and no other shell. I realize it's messy to handle errors from early commands in pipelines, but it IS possible to do in standard sh without using extensions. Regardless, at least if you set SHELL in the makefile to bash it will be clear what's required so that's a good thing.
