Hello,

I have found the problem.  It is a bug in gmake.

In version 3.75 change the line:
	#ifdef WIN32
		if (!strncmp(ep, "PATH", 4))
			unix_path = &ep[5];
		if (!strncmp(ep, "Path", 4))
			win32_path = &ep[5];
	#endif

to
	#ifdef WIN32
		if (!strncmp(envp[i], "PATH", 4))
			unix_path = &ep[5];
		if (!strncmp(envp[i], "Path", 4))
			win32_path = &ep[5];
	#endif

In version 3.75 or 3.76 change the line:

	struct variable *v = lookup_variable ("Path", 4);

to
	struct variable *v = lookup_variable ("PATH", 4);

thanks
jsm
