This isn't a path problem.  Its a problem with wherever you're invoking 
system32\cmd.exe.  You need to escape the backslash.  You might try 
setting MAKE_MODE=win32.  This is supposed to tell make to handle win32
syntax rather than UNIX syntax.  There's allot more about MAKE_MODE in
the email archives.  You may find things of note for your problem there too.
