You must be running a non-cygwin make.

That said, however, make does not deal well with spaces in file
specifications.  If something is actually parsing a PATH environment
variable then it could cause problems.


You're right, I know what caused the problem, a window's system path (not user's path) that includes the make.exe

c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Symbian\tools\make.exe

Since there wasn't /usr/local/bin/make or /usr/bin/make just searched on paths imported from windows.
