Re: PATCH: Use $(SHELL) when running mkinstalldirs

[Andrew Cagney <ac131313@redhat.com>]

I"m guessing that this is an [RFA], rather than a [commit].  Yes, ok.

BTW, Makefile and configure go under the loosely defined comment ``do 
you feel lucky?''.  There is no one explicitly responsible for this 
section of GDB.  Instead it's left to peoples judgment (typically the 
only way to test this is to commit it) - post one day, commit one or few 
later (or earlier if its pretty obvious :-).
