Then please keep in mind that command lines passed from `spawn' aren't
globbed and/or stripped of the quote characters by the new startup code,
so commands like ``etags *.c'' won't work (that's why Make 3.75 will call
`system' in these cases).  It shouldn't be a problem with the command you
use for gcc, because that one is invoked via a batch file (it has double
quotes which is treated as a character special to the shell), but still...
