Oh, of course, it's a builtin in both. Doh! It's the 'sh' executable that
is getting in the way, not 'cd' at all. Make looks for 'sh' in order to run
the ($shell ...) command.
1) Do you have SHELL set in your environment vars?
2) Are you using a version of make that understands the MAKE_MODE variable
or the --win32 and --unix flags?
cheers,
