This isn't a path problem. Its a problem with wherever you're invoking
system32\cmd.exe. You need to escape the backslash. You might try
setting MAKE_MODE=win32. This is supposed to tell make to handle win32
syntax rather than UNIX syntax. There's allot more about MAKE_MODE in
the email archives. You may find things of note for your problem there too.
