One being that GNU > make expands it's full path with forward slashes into $(MAKE) > which would do just nothing at all under command.com. I didn't say we support _building_ Emacs on those platforms. But we do support _running_ Emacs there. If you know of any problems that would preclude that, please report them. (Btw, for the specific problem of Make, its Windows port will never use command.com as a shell. Either you have a Unixy shell on your Path or you need to have cmd.exe. So for building on such a system, the only way it can possibly work is if one has a sh.exe somewhere.)
