Or just use a simple command which ALL Unix system have: sh.
If you're using make a glorified task runner, why don't you just create a scripts/ directory with shell scripts to do whatever you want. This is simpler, cleaner and works everywhere.
Make doesn't really add anything. I get the feeling that using make this way is an aesthetic preference that has somehow developed with time into a "this is the one true Unix way" cargo cult.
