Strange, I use the same.

You see, the problem is the version of Make I have (both 3.80 and the
new 3.81) produce the value of $(CURDIR) with forward slashes.  Try
this and tell me what it prints:

     mingw32-make -f -
     all:
        echo $(CURDIR)
     ^Z

(on the last line press Ctrl-Z).  On my system, it prints the current
directory with forward slashes.

In addition, even if $(CURDIR) is produced with backslashes, the
Windows port of Make should support file names with backslashes in
rule's commands.

Anyway, isn't MinGW-5.0.2 an unstable version listed under "Proposed"?
Perhaps there's some bug (or a new misfeature) in the runtime included
in that version of MinGW?
