Don't bother. I managed to fix it.

I dumped the environment in bash, no MINGDIR=; then I had a closer look at 
those export commands in the profile file, where I'd pasted the two new 
ones after two pre-existing ones. I moved the new ones to the beginning of 
the list, when I noticed that the last old one contained tons of strange 
escapes and so did the line after the export lines, and guessed that maybe 
that line ended with some code to continue onto the next line. In which 
case it would be "eating" one or both  new export lines.

I restarted bash and ran make, and it seems to be compiling away merrily 
now.

Maybe the Allegro documentation should point out this rather subtle 
"gotcha"...
