Follow-up Comment #2:

That "syntax error" seen by Paul is the symptom of the same problem: Make
assumed without checking that the value of "SHELL" does not have characters
special to the shell in it.

I fixed that with the attached patch.

Note that a similar change was suggested in patch #7522, but I decided to use
a less radical approach, and also fixed another problem that could cause a
crash.
