Thank you.

    Yes that makes sense, as bash is Unix and needs a Unix slash. OK. Now my
question:

Why would the make no error-out when the bash called
'D:\USER\DJGPP\BIN\GCC.EXE' (as it usually did before I changed the
environment. Those ARE backslashes, too, right?
But make would only be unable to find GCC when the path was
'D:\\USER\\DJGPP\\BIN\\GCC.EXE'. THAT always hosed it up.
And now I know what causes it.
