Heh.  You're running one version of GNU make on Solaris, and a different
version on Windows, and you're assuming the difference in behavior is
because of _MAKE_ ... !?!?  :-)


Sorry, but this has nothing to do with make.  Solaris (and all POSIX
systems) ignore trailing slashes on pathnames.

Windows doesn't.

Hence your different behavior.
