Actually that was an ill-advised patch by me in the make-3.82-2 source (which I subsequently removed from mingw.org). The make-3.82-3 source is a repackaging of the vanilla sources (as was make-3.82-1). The crux of the issue with make-3.82-1 was that I configured 'make' via MSYS and I missed one important step. When configured via MSYS, config.h contains: #define PATH_SEPARATOR=':' which obviously does not work in a DOS/Windows environment. The can cause a rather nasty chain reaction in the 'make' code with things like VPATH, etc. not getting parsed correctly which (as in the issue reported on the MinGW-Users list) can possibly result in a crash. The reason for the '-2' patch was that I noticed that when built with build_w32.bat, the resulting gnumake.exe didn't exhibit this behaviour. Reason being, it defaulted to MAXPATHLEN being set to 1024 (as per make.h, given that PATH_MAX and MAXPATHLEN aren't defined when built with build_w32.bat). Which in the MinGW-Users case corrected the issue, because the character array was sufficiently big enough to house the VPATH specified in the problematic Makefile. For the 3.82-3 release, during the build process (after running 'configure'), I ran a sed script to replace the PATH_SEPARATOR with: #define PATH_SEPARATOR=';' Which corrected the issue. I have not looked at the problematic Makefile supplied in this email chain, not do I know how the mingw-w64 'make' executables were built, so I can't comment as to whether this is another case of the PATH_SEPARATOR being the issue.
