Any language where a backslash at the end of the line changes the semantics of the script is difficult to use as a make SHELL, without also using .ONESHELL, because backslash/newline must be used to ensure make interprets the recipe correctly, AND ALSO make preserves the backslash/newline when it invokes the script. Both Python and Perl fall into this category IIRC. In fact I consider it likely that almost every scripting language does, although it might be possible to avoid issues with obscure workarounds. -- Paul D.
