I didn't mean to say there was any problem, I'm just trying to
understand what is wrong, before drawing any conclusions.  You are
describing very strange problems, which I cannot reproduce, so I must
rely on your help to debug them.

Could you please answer my questions about the configuration of your
Make binary and where you got it from, and also what does "make which-sh"
produce in the nt/ subdirectory?  Thanks in advance.

This happens when nt/config.nt is newer than src/config.h.  Normally,
nt/config.nt can never be newer than src/config.h, since configure.bat
copies the former into the latter.  Could you please look and see what
are the full time stamps of these two files?
