Are you saying that with this trick, even if Make invokes
"command.com /c ..." explicitly, Windows will run cmd instead?
I'd be surprised if it did.
The original problem was with a Makefile that invoked command.com
like shown above. That Makefile does that because the command
it wants to run is non-portable to other shells.
When I said that we will need to find a way to run cmd on those
systems, I meant the following: we need a method to detect such
a system from the Makefile, and then run "cmd.exe /c ..." instead
of "command.com /c ...".
