But SHELL might disagree with CONFIG_SHELL; the latter is used to run config.status. So adding $(SHELL) might be wrong.

I agree, but the old csh-based systems have been dead for 20 years. The truncation-based systems have been dead for 10, unless you insist on reallly long (>64-byte) file names for standard shells, which is obviously lunatic. So these days, I suspect that SHELL != CONFIG_SHELL mismatch is the greatest problem here. However, this discussion is inclining me to say that it's not pressing to change Autoconf to behave like Automake (or vice versa) when there are reasonable arguments either way. Let's leave it alone until someone actually runs into a problem.
