On a straight DOS system with only command.com for a shell, make will
fail after
cd ../new_dir; $(MAKE)
I found that doing an explicit cd ../original_dir fixed the problem,
and there were a few exchanges about this in the archives that indicated
this was the case.
I ran a small test using this hack with bash available, and pointed to
by SHELL, and it still seemed to work.
So, my question, is the explicit cd safe in all configurations, or will
I get burnt?
