I'm pretty sure the -c thing is because your Makefile SHELL variable is resolving to something that doesn't understand the -c switch.
I think the default for /bin/bash is just the RISC OS CLI unless you add a ported shell and adjust the path accordingly.

You could try the existing port of bash, or email me for a copy of the slimmer dash, which I found (recently) to work well with make.

If you are using a Linux style Makefile there may be other commands you find missing.
