I suspect the problem is with the backslashes. GNU Make can interpret
backslashes specially (it uses them to escape special characters and strips
them otherwise). Try replacing them with double backslashes ("\\") or front
slashes and see if that works.
This is just a guess, but I've seen similar problems before.
Btw, your DJGPP *is* installed under the `c:\gcc" directory, right? Just
checking.
Alternatively, try removing the paths (COMPILE=gcc, etc) and remove the
-Ic:\gcc\include, since GCC looks there anyway.

I hope this helps.
