Hello Don,

  I always install mingw at "C:\mingw{32,64}" so I don't remember seeing
this problem before.

  Regarding your comment about "make" being baked into the build process,
we try to always use MAKE as a variable defined in Makedefs under the top
level directory for the reason you mentioned; to make it easy to switch to
any "make". If there are places were make is hard-coded then we should fix
that.

Cheers,
Jafar
