Both, actually.  See my complete bash and DOS "set" environment copied
at the end of this message.  DJGPP is set to "h:\djgpp\DJGPP.ENV".

No, there is no fncase variable set at all, and none in DJGPP.ENV.
Yes, "/bin/rm -f" works, as the sample make file I posted shows.

Yes, it does.  Execute the test I posted with make from the
COMMAND.COM prompt and the results are the same as under bash:
"/bin/rm -f" works, while "/BIN/rm -f" fails.  Setting
PATH_SEPARATOR=; under COMMAND.COM does not change the behavior.
