When building under cygwin (which I think your instructions recommend) you
are using the BASH shell, so DIRSEP should be '/' and COPY_CMD should be
'cp'.. I have made several successful builds with the last two lines of
Makefile.win32 and Makefile.win32gcc changed to:

COPY_CMD=cp
DIRSEP:=$(strip /)
