GNU Make 3.80 on Cygwin expanding variables improperly?

Greg,

Well diffing your correct.txt and incorrect.txt from the
previous email 
you get these differences:

Now looking at the critical definitions you have:

LECTURES = \
	intro \
	shell01 \
	shell02 \
	version \
	build \
	py01 \
	py02 \
	py03 \
	style \
	qa \
	py04 \
	debugging \
	oop01 \
	oop02 \
	unit \
	re \
	binary \
	xml \
	db \
	spreadsheets \
	integrate \
	client \
	server \
	security \
	dev01 \
	dev02 \
	summary \
	ack \
	bib \
	glossary \
	extlinks \
	figurelist \
	tablelist \
	syllabus

SITES = # nothing

GFX_SUFFIX := gif jpg png
GFX_SRC := \
	$(foreach fmt,$(GFX_SUFFIX),\
	  $(wildcard ./img/*.$) \
	  $(foreach lecdir,$, \
	    $(wildcard ./lec/img/$/*.$) \
	  ) \
	  $(foreach sitedir,$, \
	    $(wildcard ./sites/$/img/*.$) \
	  ) \
	)

There's nothing there that looks to me like it's platform
specific so I 
would expect this to work correctly on both operating
systems without a 
problem (BTW it would have been *really* nice if you'd
narrowed this 
question down to those relevant lines before posting your
question .

I know this is going to sound dumb, but do you actually have
the same 
files in those directories on all the machines. (Counting
symlinks as well).

John.
