Maybe you should upgrade to 3.79.1 or 3.80. Also, if make can find "sh.exe" in 
the
PATH environment variable, it will use it instead of COMSPEC.
You can get Amol's zsh or UnixUtils' sh.exe, then place "sh.exe" in any 
directory,
add that directory to your PATH, you shouln't have such limitations then.
