Probably because you are running in bash interactively but /bin/sh using
the makefile and /bin/sh != /bin/bash on your system. /bin/sh by default
is ash, not bash. ash is faster than bash but it doesn't understand allot
of stuff that bash (and any other decent shell) does. Check this and if
this is the problem, I'd recommend switching sh to be bash (although feel
free to patch ash if you really want to!;-))
