I forgot to add that it is really this .d thing that makes it problematic.
The makefiles generate separate subdirectories for various targets and also
sets CFLAGS, CC, LINK et al. differently to allow different settings (and
compilers, was my theory) for the different targets.

Since mingw32-gcc and gcc generates .d files in incompatible formats (gcc
really doesn't like "c:\..." in its .d files...) and those are included in
the make file, even using different make:s does not solve the problem for
me.

Any ideas?
