The makefile:

	all: ; ps

tells me:

bash-2.05$ make -f ../foo.mk
ps
      PID    PPID    PGID     WINPID TTY  UID    STIME COMMAND
      317       1     317        317  -1  500 14:59:36 /bin/bash
      461     317     461        549  -1  500 14:59:41 /usr/bin/make
      591     461     461        224  -1  500 14:59:41 /bin/sh
      662     591     461        585  -1  500 14:59:41 /usr/bin/ps

that make is invoking /bin/sh in order to invoke /usr/bin/ps.

Why isn't make invoking /usr/bin/ps directly?
