One being that GNU make expands it's full path with forward slashes into $(MAKE) which would do just nothing at all under command.com.I didn't say we support _building_ Emacs on those platforms. But we do support _running_ Emacs there. If you know of any problems that would preclude that, please report them.
Since it didn't build I really can't tell whether it runs.
(Btw, for the specific problem of Make, its Windows port will neveruse command.com as a shell.
Sure it does. Hence the problem with slashes, as above.
Either you have a Unixy shell on your Path or you need to have cmd.exe. So for building on such a system, the only way it can possibly work is if one has a sh.exe somewhere.)
