>All you have to do is change the list of UNIX shells to be empty:

Forgive me, but I made the change to empty list of unix shell (to the git version of Make 4.1 with Paul's patch to take care of NULL ttyname) . Then, each simple recipe command, like, "touch foobar", goes through the line execvp (argv[0], argv); (around line 2500 of job.c) Here argv is the array "touch" "foobar" . The shell /bin/sh does not know about this call to execvp at all... In case of a more complicated command, the situation appears even more strange. If a recipe command is touch foobar; touch foobar1 then we call execvp as well, this time on the array of words of "bin/sh -c touch foobar; touch foobar1" This is strange, because here, /bin/sh will know about "touch foobar" but will not know about "touch foobar1". I want to apologize - this thread was started because I thought, the manual says that for each recipe line, a new shell process is spawned. Actually, the manual says that, but later in parenthesis, in the next sentence, says "in practice, we take shortcuts that do not affect the results). I never read the second sentence... I mean, perhaps the whole paragraph should be constructed better, but I should have read everything. I am just writing this for the record so someone else who tries to plug a different /bin/sh and finds this thread, is not stumped.
