While bash supports the "+=" operator for environment variables,
/bin/sh does not. scripts/build is making use of "+=" but declares
itself to be a /bin/sh script. This leads to errors of the form
    ../scripts/build: 21: ../scripts/build: LDLIBS+= -lm: not found
and doesn't change the contents of LDLIBS as was the intention.

Therefore, we change the interpreter to /bin/bash, which makes things
work as intended.

We need all patches to have a description + Signed-off-by line.
Ideally, they should be generated using git format-patch, but since
there is apparently no upstream git repo for lmbench, that is not a
requirement.

Best regards,
