[Buildroot] kernel patch not applied

Hi,

It's quite a long time now, since first email, but I was faced to the
problem today, when updating my old buildroot to the latest svn one.

I'm working on KUbuntu 7.10. (yes, I know it's bad :-) ).
a) doesn't work for me (even if my SHELL env is pointing to /bin/bash)

only b) or "make SHELL=/bin/bash" are working.


It's just a 2 cents feedback, so I'm not waiting for an answer ;-)
