You might find reading http://cygwin.com/problems.html instructive.  The
above email has a few issues which make it difficult to figure out what
you're trying to report.

I've created a Makefile that looks like this:

  _module1_DIR=/share/tmp/module1
  _module2_DIR=/share/tmp/module2
  _module3_DIR=/share/tmp/module3
  REQUIRES:=module1 module2 module3
  all:
	  @echo $(foreach z,$(strip $(REQUIRES)),            \
		  $(if $(_$(z)_DIR), $(wildcard $(_$(z)_DIR)/inc),))


And created directories /share/tmp/module{1,2,3} and /share/tmp/module1/inc.
When I run this makefile, /share/tmp/module1/inc is output with both 1.5.19
DLLs and with a snapshot DLL.  (/share/tmp is, of course, a remote drive)

So, I've gone the extra mile and tried to come up with a "simple test case"
(patent pending) but apparently I didn't duplicate your scenario adequately
and, so, we need more details about your environment.
