Follow-up Comment #8, bug #60312 (project make):

Yeah, well. But if it assumes the invoked program can interpret "backslash
double quote" in the command line, why can't it also assume that it can
understand "single quote quoting" and not change one into the other?

Because MSYS's echo works finely with the latter but has problems with the
former :)

Anyway, thanks for your time. I think I'll install a GNU/Linux VM to build and
use this particular program that's giving me make trouble. "If the scalpel
doesn't work, use a sledgehammer..."
