You mean GNU make 3.80 and 3.82.  There's no version 3.8.0. or 3.8.2.

There is not nor has there ever been a "--unix" option for GNU make in
the standard version.  If your version of GNU make had a "--unix"
option, it must have been a customized version.  Are you using Cygwin?
Maybe this is something added by the Cygwin folks.

You'll need to investigate where your current version of GNU make came
from, and see if you can get help from them.  Otherwise you'll need to
provide more information, such as how you compiled GNU make (there are
various options for Windows support), what kind of command
"E:/gnudir/b/file" is, etc.
