I just created a "//c/Programme/eCos/packages/pkgconf/rules.mak" file with these
two lines in it:

all:
	echo hello

and then created a makefile with this in it:

include //c/Programme/eCos/packages/pkgconf/rules.mak

and then did this:

make

Everything worked as expected.

If you can isolate this down to a simple failing test case then running
strace on the make session may be instructive:

strace -ostrace.out make -f whatever

This isn't just a case of having \r\n line endings in your makefile, is it?

Btw, since Corinna uses W2K I don't think this is some kind of strange W2K
bug.  I'm using W2K, too, FWIW.
