That has not to do with autoload tools, but with not using them. The
makefile-temp is not automatically generated by autoload tools, it is a plain
makefile that does not work in all cases --- at least it does not work on
MSWindows XP as far as I can say.
I was proposing a fix which I had done for myself, while trying to keep
backward compatibility, but it seems that this fix is too complex, I do not
argue. The best way would anyway have been to use autoload --- or some other
build system that is platform independent (EDE ?). Or maybe there can be
alternative fixes simpler than what I had put forward (using mingw32-make
instead of msys make and $(CURDIR) instead of `pwd` would probably make it, but
I did not try...)
