Thanks, I'm now sure this is the same bug that I had in mind: it
raises its ugly head when the value of Path ends with a quote.  The
bug number is 25412, you can view the solution here:

  http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?25412

There's a patch there that you can apply and rebuild Make to solve
this problem.

By the way, out of curiosity: where did those quoted directories in
your Path come from?  Did you add quoted directories, or is it work of
automated installer programs?

I'm asking because these quotes are unnecessary: Windows (and Make)
will happily work without them.
