I had a similar problem on ubuntu 11.04 and solved setting the SHELL
variable in the GDALmake.opt.in as follows

Index: GDALmake.opt.in
===================================================================
--- GDALmake.opt.in	(revision 22377)
+++ GDALmake.opt.in	(working copy)
@@ -8,7 +8,7 @@
 # Solaris users: the LIBTOOL line is expanded to $(SHELL)
$(top_builddir)/libtool # but the libtool script uses bashism, so you
may need to uncomment the following # line :
-#SHELL=/usr/bin/bash
+SHELL=/usr/bin/bash
 
 HAVE_LIBTOOL	=	@HAVE_LIBTOOL@
 LIBTOOL	=	@LIBTOOL@


best regards
