Running Cygnus tools under Visual Studio is Broken in b18

[Garret Swart <gswart at nc dot com>]

I've been running GNU make and friends under Microsoft's Visual Studio
(aka Visual C++, aka MSDEV) using the Makefile project type.  This was
working fine until I upgraded to b18 from b17.1.  Now when I run
processes from MSDEV all I get is the error messages at the end of the
message.

When I instead try to use the compile command on GNU emacs 19.34.1
i386-*-nt4.0 of Aug 28, 1996, I get:

  cd ~/cygnus/
  make -k
  /c: /c: No such file or directory

  Compilation exited abnormally with code 1 at Thu Dec 18 22:41:37

When running GNU tools in a console window, I've noticed that the
process name of the currently executing sub-process now appears in the
window banner.  In b17.1 of the Cygnus tools did not happen.  Is there a
way of turning this off?  Having the banner track the 100's of calls per
minute to various GNU tools being run by make is distracting and seems
to cause a loss of stability.  Could this be related to the problem
above?

Here is what gets printed out when I run make under MSDEV, note that
Win32 error 87 is invalid parameter.
