You could try something like
  export PATH := $(PATH):$(EXTRA_PATH)
in your makefile.

I would expect that to do the right thing in unixy mode -- not having
the extra space and exporting the changed value to a subprocesses. 
Whether that will actually make it to %PATH% under Win32 I have no idea,
and unfortunately can't test right now...

Using the above in a recursive make may cause your $PATH to get awfully
long.  It could make a difference if you have a long path of unreachable
network shares, or because you might overflow the environment space.

Hope this helps,
