Subject: [PATCH] um: add work around for build problem with bash 4

Building User Mode Linux fails with bash 4 (see
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13343 ). The UML Makefiles
use an environment variable called CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds but bash 4 does
not export environment variables with a dot in their name. Add a hack to
allow building UML with bash 4 (which should not affect other shells).

Could this quick hack, which is the simplest work around I could think
of for this issue, be considered for inclusion in v.2.6.31?
