I managed to fix it. I dumped the environment in bash, no MINGDIR=; then I had a closer look at those export commands in the profile file, where I'd pasted the two new ones after two pre-existing ones. I moved the new ones to the beginning of the list, when I noticed that the last old one contained tons of strange escapes and so did the line after the export lines, and guessed that maybe that line ended with some code to continue onto the next line. In which case it would be "eating" one or both new export lines. I restarted bash and ran make, and it seems to be compiling away merrily now. Maybe the Allegro documentation should point out this rather subtle "gotcha"...
