Thanks.  But I still don't see what command is run that uses a long
list of files.  Can you show me that command?

And why does Make say that what fails is the "mkdir -p" command?

Also, can you post the full output of "make --debug=j LN=cp install" ?

Please use Make 3.81 in all these experiments, as 3.79.1 has all kinds
of bugs on Windows, and I don't want those bugs to interfere with
investigating your problem.

I don't expect Make to behave on Windows Server 2008 differently from
other versions of Windows.
