Hmm, now I've tested it with the latest Make-binary (actually I
already had it), I *still* experience the problem:

bash$ ls -l bash.exe make.exe
-rwxr-xr-x   1 mdruiter dos        403968 Jun  7  1997 bash.exe
-rwxr-xr-x   1 mdruiter dos        177664 Feb 28 13:09 make.exe
bash$ make --version

bash$ bash -version
GNU bash, version 1.14.7(2) r3.1 w/multibyte extension
bash$ cat makefile
SHELL=/bin/sh
all:
	:
	$(SHELL) script.sh 'echo first'
bash$ make
:
e:/djgpp/bin/sh.exe script.sh 'echo first'
first

I'm using MS-DOS 7.0 without Win95, and LFN=n, although I don't think
that's relevant. What am I doing wrong ?!?
