First, note that this command won't uninstall make.  It will just clean
the build tree so that it looks the same way it did when you unpacked
make.

What!?!?

It looks like somehow you configured make to install as /bin/sh,
overwriting your shell!

Ouch.  That's very bad.  You will need to go find a /bin/sh somewhere
(on your backup disks or install disks or another system on the network)
and copy it over /bin/sh on your system.
