problem shelling out new processes in Bash B1.8 for NT4.0

It seems that when our make files (for gnu make) try to shell out
a new process, the result is a new DOS command interpreter, not a UNIX
style Bash shell. We noticed the problem when we saw that the
shelled out processes could not interpret UNIX style path names.
We have tried specifying a shell in our make files with the following
command:
SHELL = $(SHELL_PATH)/sh.exe
but Bash does not allow this assignment.
How can we configure Bash so that it uses sh to shell out new processes?
Thanks,
Brian.
