Yes, by design.

One way is to split the bootstrap-temacs target into two: one for cmd,
the other for sh.  We have already a few examples of that in the
Windows makefiles, they use the SHELLTYPE variable.  Here's an
example:

    buildobj.h: $(SRC)/makefile.w32-in
	    $(MAKE) $(MFLAGS) make-buildobj-$(SHELLTYPE)

    make-buildobj-CMD:
	    echo #define BUILDOBJ ^"\> buildobj.h
	    echo $(OBJ0)            \>> buildobj.h
	    echo $(OBJ1)            \>> buildobj.h
	    echo $(OBJ2)            \>> buildobj.h
	    echo ^">> buildobj.h

    make-buildobj-SH:
	    echo '#define BUILDOBJ $(DQUOTE)\'  > buildobj.h
	    echo $(OBJ0)                   '\' >> buildobj.h
	    echo $(OBJ1)                   '\' >> buildobj.h
	    echo $(OBJ2)                   '\' >> buildobj.h
	    echo '$(DQUOTE)'                   >> buildobj.h
