Hi Igor,
thats not correct, because of two reasons:
a) i get the the same error for nearly every Makefile I use.
b) what I wanted to state is that there is a difference in the output
between the call of "make" and "make --unix", where no difference
should be, because of the value of "MAKE_MODE".
The output error "Can't open /c" results out of the parameter "/c" which
is given from make to the called shell "/bin/sh", which would be correct
for "cmd.exe".

Ok, that was ease. I'm sorry.
