The shell builtin is usually used, but sometimes make decides to
just exec "true" instead of the equivalent of {sh -c "true"}.  See
src/usr.bin/make/compat.c near line 290 and near line 335.  It only
happens a few times during the entire build, possibly because make is
usually not running in compatibility mode.
