The -m and -i options of mkmakemod.sh are used by different parts of the
build process (see Src/Makemod.in.in) -- they aren't intended for the
caller of the build process to change it.

The second stage has to be done at least once during the build, it can't
be avoided entirely.

Your better option here is to export a value for CONFIG_SHELL into the
environment before starting the build.  There must be *some* shell 
that is executing mkmakemod.sh itself; you just need set CONFIG_SHELL
to that path.  (We can't guarantee that $SHELL is suitable.)
