Simply one (or more) place where we should look for DOS style file 
paths (that are different from Unix ones) is missed. So it should be 
considered as a bug. At least I was not able to find it in sources of 
egcs-2.91.53 quickly (I think there should be no problems to patch 
sources of gcc-2.8.1 if I'll know where is the problem)
