make 3.79.1-4 'make: /bin/sh.exe: Command not found' when running without sh.exe



	There appears to be a problem with this version of make please
	see below.

	The ChangeLog.Cygnus file contains information on a change that
	causes an error if sh.exe is not in /bin when make is run.

---------
        * main.c (main): Avoid setting no_default_sh_exe to 0 in all cases.
        Default to /bin/sh.exe on Cygwin.  Lookup COMSPEC for --win32.
---------

	The default shell is set to a unix style shell, ie. /bin/sh,
	main.c contains code that checks the MAKE_MODE environment
	variable see below..

---------
    /* Read the environment variable MAKE_MODE */
    /* If it's "UNIX", set unixy_shell to 1.  If it's "WIN32" or
       anything else, stay with the default of 0. */
    make_mode_env = getenv ("MAKE_MODE");
    if (make_mode_env && strcaseequ (make_mode_env, "UNIX"))
      unixy_shell = 1;
---------

	The above code checks to see if the MAKE_MODE is 'unix' and, if
	it is sets unixy_shell (which is already set since the default
	shell is now /bin/sh). Any other setting, i.e. WIN32, will use
	the default, which is a unix shell. So make is looking for 
	/bin/sh even when MAKE_MODE is set to WIN32, the only workaround
	is to specify --win32 as a command line option to make.
