mingw make doesn't conform to the gnu make manual
section 6.9.

according to the manual, make on dos or windows should
use $SHELL for shell if set or otherwise $COMSPEC.

for other platforms the default behaviour is to ignore
$SHELL.

mingw make's behaviour is annoying when you have a
leftover sh.exe somewhere in your path. this is seldom
a problem on unix.

Sincerely Henrik Stokseth.

    If this is still an issue then please take it to the make-w32@gnu.org list.
