Yes, there's no "." in my PATH.

Yes, it's not found.

My shell is set to COMMAND.COM. I don't set SHELL in the environment. It has
its default setting.

No, it does not run bash. SHELL=/bin/sh forces make to emulate certain Unixy
features. See the sectione entitled ""SHELL=/bin/sh" -- or is it?" in
gnu/djgpp/make-*/readme.dos.

But yes, this is a reasonable correction:

    SHELL=/bin/sh make all

works for me.

But is this change OK for the other compilation environments mentioned in the
Makefile - TURBOC, etc. Do we care about them?

> If you do, does it break for you?

    SHELL=/djgpp/bin/bash.exe make all

does not work for me.

    PATH="$PATH;." SHELL=/djgpp/bin/bash.exe make all

does work for me.

Bye, Rich =]
