Follow-up Comment #3, bug #26888 (project make):

It's not a bug, strictly speaking: SHELL should only be set to a command that
supports a "-c ARGUMENT" invocation.  CMD.EXE does not, so you invoke it as
"cmd.exe -c SOMETHING" whereas it expects "cmd.exe /c SOMETHING" (and in
addition the quoting in SOMETHING is wrong for CMD).

In any case, I'm closing this bug.
