patch, have find_in_given_path return file only

Good morning.

A user reporter an issue in gnu make.
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?57962.
The issue is that find_in_given_path returns a directory which matches
the desired name.
The fix is likely needed for the windows specific piece of code in
find_in_given_path as well.

regards, Dmitry
