    We would need to add yet another config file for this because make
    doesn't read anything if given the -r flag. It would end up having
    no shell which would be wrong.

    The initial shell (/bin/sh) must be in the binary because it must run with
    -r. I see no sense to add another config file just for the purpose
    of specifying the shell. What would that give you that you cannot do now?
