The problem is that an ANSI-conformant C preprocessor (as msc has [well,
mostly 8-)]) cannot deal with a Makefile as input.  Why?  Because it is not
valid C.

In config.gdb, if it has 'cc -E', replace it with '/lib/cpp [...]'; that
should do the trick.  Or use rcc instead of cc.

Also, as was pointed out, /bin/sh (or $SHELL; I forget which one is checked
first) needs to be readable.
