The most probable reason is that you now use a different version of
DJGPP and/or Make.  The handling of redirection in Makefiles has
changed between DJGPP v2.0 and v2.01, and you seem to experience the
adverse effects of that change.  In particular, Make 3.75 does NOT
call COMMAND.COM when the Makefile includes redirection, it handles
redirection internally.

If the above doesn't help you solve the problem, please post some
examples of commands from Makefiles which exhibit the problem on your
machine.
