#   kbuild: drop use of /usr/bin/env in top-level Makefile
#   
#   The use of env is not needed, and caused the output makefile to be
#   created in some setups where it was not supposed to.
#   Seems to be an issue with GNU sh-utils version of env.
#   
#   One user also reported env to be located in another place (/usr/local/bin/..).
