Please change the subject to something more meaning full, e.g. "Fix setting 
of the SHELL variable for Haiku".

In the patch description, you should mention that there is no /usr/bin/env 
on Haiku.

Actually, I wonder why we had to take the detour via /usr/bin/env here at 
all? Couldn't we simply set

SHELL = bash -o pipefail

by default, or does this cause some trouble on other systems?

If nobody objects, I'd suggest that you change your patch to always set 
"SHELL = bash -o pipefail" unconditionally.
