I am pulling my hair out trying to get Make to use "\" as directory
separators vs. the "/" UNIX style.  Nothing I have tried seems to work
including escaping the "\".

I am running Win2k and using make version 3.79.1

Making a test Makefile reproduces the problem.

CC        = gcc

# Directories holding the source files.
SRCDIR    = libc

# Path to include directory.
CINCLUDE   = -Iinclude

# Source files (C and Assembler).
SRC_C  = $(foreach dir, $(SRCDIR), $(wildcard $(dir)/*.c))

dep:
    $(CC) $(CINCLUDE) -nostdinc -fno-builtin -M $(SRC_C) > ./depend.mk

running as is works fine except everything dumped into depend.mk has
"/" instead of "\".

By changing the SRC_C line at the end to read "$(dir)\.c))" produces
no output.  Changing to "$(dir)\\.c))" produces nothing as well.

Any suggestion greatly appreciated.
