Did you build Make with the new dosexec, or build the gcc (the one you 
use to compile the new version of gcc) with the new startup code?  If so,
there might be some bug in passing arguments, or inconsistency between 
the new spawn and the old crt1.

AFAIK, Make building itself doesn't use quoted arguments on GCC command 
lines.  This is one of the areas which were changed in the new dosexec 
(and crt1).
