But you still doesn't show us an *exact* recipe or log files that
demonstrates the problem you encounter. It's always hard to discuss
things on such a theoretical level without have an example to test.
Your suggested fix of doing
```
CFG=$CFG SHELL=$SHELL $MAKE setup unix
```
(if I understand you correctly) in the top-level `configure` script is
trivial, and I'm certainly not opposed to apply that. However, we
would like to really understand the big picture.
