If the problem doesn't go away with LFN=y, it's not the same problem
as what you see in the mail archives.  That problem only happens when
using legacy DOS calls on Windows ME.  The LFN-aware calls don't cause
it.

So please try to investigate.  Running Make under GDB and finding the
place where EINVAL is printed, and the system call which causes it,
would be useful.  (Assuming the message indeed comes from Make.)

More details about the problem would also be useful: for example, when
is the message printed (by which program and doing what exactly)?

Do you also get EINVAL if you try to rebuild Make with the new Make?

Anyway, thanks for working on this.
