The program used as the shell is taken from the variable @code{SHELL}.
By default, the program @file{/bin/sh} is used.
Unlike most variables, the variable @code{SHELL} will not be set from
the environment, except in a recursive @code{make}. This is because the
@code{SHELL} environment variable is used to specify your personal
choice of shell program for interactive use. It would be very bad for
personal choices like this to affect the functioning of makefiles.

Often you want to test if a variable has a non-empty value. When the
value results from complex expansions of variables and functions,
expansions you would consider empty may actually contain whitespace
characters and thus are not seen as empty. However, you can use the
@code{strip} function to avoid interpreting whitespace as a non-empty
value. For example:
@example
@group
ifeq ($(strip $(foo)),)
@var{text-if-empty}
endif
@end group
@end example
@noindent
will evaluate @var{text-if-empty} even if the expansion of
@code{$(foo)} contains whitespace characters.
