Subject: Use bash for default GNU Make shell application
X-Git-Url: http://git.dujemihanovic.xyz/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cf7a7b99794bac936899819b95539be1dbd71708;p=u-boot.git

Use bash for default GNU Make shell application

Some Make script commands rely on bash-specific features like brace
expansion, so default to bash for the SHELL variable with a fallback
to the standard sh shell
