Do you have an rmdir.exe program somewhere on your PATH?  Or perhaps
you have a Unixy shell sh.exe somewhere?  If so, Make will invoke
those Unix-style rmdir commands in preference to the cmd.exe built-in.

If you want to be sure the cmd's rmdir is invoked, I suggest to modify
your Makefile as follows:

clean: 
        @echo make version 3.80 and Windows XP 2002 SP2
        cmd.exe /c rmdir /q /s lib
