Try using google and searching the archives for .exe and related 
commands you have problems with- the .exe thing 
has been discussed a whole lot on this list. It might 
even be in the documentation or FAQ-

It is me, again - I am missing a bit of concentration.
Some more remarks/results at the bottom.

After removing the f flag, the files were copied correctly.

But now the problems with the exe extensions moves on to the next
command "strip", which complains about not finding the appropriate files.
At moment I will change the makefile and hope someone has the knowledge
and time to work on the extension thing.

Good luck.

Thomas
