Well, I looked at the kernel Makefiles and here's what I found:
usr/Makefile contains the following
initramfs := $(CONFIG_SHELL) $(srctree)/scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh
So, the interpreter the kernel uses in its scripts is stored in the
CONFIG_SHELL Makefile variable.
The variable value can be determined using the patch attached that adds
the show-config-shell target to show the value of CONFIG_SHELL.
Cd to the kernel source directory (linux-2.6.17.13/) and run the
following commands (the output of the commands run on my box is shown
as well)
$ patch Makefile linux-2.6.17.13-show_config_shell.patch
patching file Makefile
$ make show-config-shell
Makefile:444: .config: No such file or directory
echo "CONFIG_SHELL=[/bin/sh]"
CONFIG_SHELL=[/bin/sh]
$ make CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash show-config-shell
Makefile:444: .config: No such file or directory
echo "CONFIG_SHELL=[/bin/bash]"
CONFIG_SHELL=[/bin/bash]
So, the default value of CONFIG_SHELL in my environment (having
/bin/bash) is /bin/sh but it can be overrided by passing the value
in the command line while running make (well, gmake in your case).
So try to use this to compile the kernel
make CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/pkg/bin/bash
