this should be in the FAQ too, unless they fix it in the next release,
and apparently they will.  I solved this problem by putting . (dot) as the
last path in my PATH env. variable, (though the exact position of .
in $PATH is not really important).

It's amazing how programmers' minds go through the same patterns of thinking.
I did use to insert sh in front of every script name in Makefile too, before
I came up with the idea of modifying $PATH...
