Details:

This seems to be a combination of the "()"s in the path for sh, and using
output redirection in a rule. Our makefile includes the following rule:

${UNIAV_H}: mkuniav.c quadav.h
        mk_cc $<
        mk_lnk ${call getexe, $<} ${call getobj, $<}
        mkuniav.exe > ${UNIAV_H}

The redirection on the last line of the rule causes gmake to enter an
infinite loop generating the command line to execute. Removing the ">" or
moving sh.exe to a directory without "()"s in works around the problem.
