[Bug 1965634] [NEW] make: recognize more shell built-ins

[Peter Pentchev]

Public bug reported:

Hi,

Thanks a lot for taking care of GNU make in Ubuntu!

Please take a look at https://bugs.debian.org/1007969 for the bug report
itself and the two patches that backport upstream commits from version
4.3. In short, make(1) does not realize that it needs to execute some
commands via /bin/sh, it tries to run e.g. "command" directly, which
fails in Makefiles that try to use "command -v" or "command -pv" to
figure out the full path of an executable program.

Thanks in advance, and keep up the great work!

G'luck,
Peter
