Two ways:

1) put the line:

	SHELL=/bin/sh

  at the top of your makefile

2) in your .cshrc use the (regrettably undocumented feature):

	if ( $?prompt ) then
		# interactive shell stuff (including prompt) here
	endif

The second method will also have the effect of speeding up C-shell scripts.
The "if ( $?prompt ) then" says do this ONLY if the shell variable "prompt"
is set.  It is only set on interactive shells.
