Details:

Hi,

platform: MS Windows XP SP3
make versions: 3.80 and 3.82

given following makefile:

vpath %.c a b

.PHONY: all
all: foo.c bar.c
        echo $^

the directory structure is as follows:

$ ls -R
.:
a  b  Makefile

./a:
foo.c

./b:
bar.c


make gives error:

>make.exe
make.exe: *** No rule to make target `foo.c', needed by `all'.  Stop.

while the same makefile works as expected on linux with make 3.82.
