Some shells (at least Solaris /bin/sh) are noisy in spite of the
redirections, when a program doesn't exist. I'm proposing a followup
patch to clean up this invocation to use a subshell, and also to fix the
subshell for cppi in cfg.mk.
Or you could consider the noise a two-pronged feature:
- notify user that their $(SHELL) is inferior
- more noise about lack of a useful developer tool (pdwtags or cppi)
