I have been trying recently to compile a Linux kernel on a Sequent machine under Dynix/Ptx and had a number of issues when I would run 'make dep' where it would fail because the test command in /bin/sh does not support the -ot option. I have only had this problem when compiling the linux kernel and I was able to solve the problem by adding the following line to all the Makefiles in the source: SHELL := <location of bash> I realize that under linux the /bin/sh is linked to /bin/bash but that is not always the case and the -ot option for test is not necessarily available in /bin/sh. Would it be possible in the future to modify the makefiles or find another way to make sure that make is using bash when it needs bash instead of whatever the system is using for /bin/sh. I imagine something like SHELL := $BASH would work. Thanks for all the good work you guys do.
