I see. Should work, indeed. I'd say the resulting code is less optimal
(repeated conditions, strncpy() with length = 1) and a bit more difficult to
understand. But, after al

Thank you very much for testing. I will really try to apply my hands to it
this weekend.

Hello,
Thank you for this new RC.
I have tested make-3.99.93 under cygwin 32 bits with --disable-load
(and without the spawn-patch).
Several items that i had reported in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2013-09/msg00110.html
(and for which i didn't get any feedback) are still there.
Hello, Denis.

abspath first detects whether it is given an absolute path. If not,
it prepends current working directo

Stay tuned, and thanks for your contributions.
The most needed thing to fix is
${abspath /foo}
that currently returns "/cy/foo"

You can do without configure test if you want. You could just have
something like this in the code:

Still experimenting 'make check' with Cygwin (without the spawn-patch,
with --disable-load):
1) In test_driver.pl, line 486 (look for "Test returned"), a comparison
of $code against the value -1 is performed. However, 3 lines above the
same
test is done. This looks strange.
I wonder if what is
