Perhaps it might be fixed with a portability check in the latest

Using @SHELL@ here seems to be the right thing, as suggested in the
Autoconf manual:
<http://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.69/html_node/The-Make-Macro-SHELL.html#The-Make-Macro-SHELL>

So I've pushed the patch.  Thanks.
