Without diving into the depths of the linux makefiles, this doesn't seem
like a bug. gcc creates .exe files. The makefile isn't expecting to
create one and, so, gets confused. Makefiles which expect .exe
extensions usually use the EXEEXT variable for just this purpose.
Linux's makefile doesn't do that for probably obvious reasons.
