This is a bug in that version of GNU make, or in the port to OS/2 (not
sure). If you have the source code, you want to do this:
Edit the file job.c.
Find the function construct_command_argv_internal().
In that function you'll see a bunch of different definitions of the
static char string sh_chars... I'm not familiar with your port so I
can't say exactly how it will look, but you need to find the variable
sh_chars (or it might be sh_chars_sh on OS/2) that is compiled for your
version of GNU make.
Add the character ``:'' to that string. Rebuild and see if that works.
Newer versions of GNU make actually are smart enough to handle ":" by
itself specially and not actually do anything at all, so this isn't
necessary.
