I find it interesting that you are have a problem with the '"' in make.
In the original mingw32 it was a known problem; had to do with the way
that win32 was handling a quoted string. To fix the problem I had to
escape the '"' with the '\' character and depending on the shell nesting
level sometimes the escape would have to be escaped. I haven't given
Mumit Kahn's EGCS version a try yet but I know he worked on changes
specific to Win32.
I suggest:
1st try Mumit's version.
2nd try compiling the source under cygwin.
