That was my initial intention - to prepend or append "SHELL=..." to
"./configure". Neither worked however.

Indeed, the gdb/gdbserver/configure script doesn't inherit SHELL, it
sets it to /bin/sh in the absence of CONFIG_SHELL. So we pass the
latter variable to "./configure" and it cascades along nicely - much
cleaner than forcing it through "make".

The attached adds this in the spirit of the problem - as a variable
(apart from a buggy sh!).
