What version of make are you using? I remember having this exact problem when
using the mingw32 make in a bash shell compiling the mingw32 version of the
allegro wip. Just using normal DJGPP make works though. Can you execute a normal
DOS copy command from your bash shell? Does the DJGPP make spawn command com
when running external commands?

Maybe the Allegro makefile should call "command.com /c copy" instead of just
"copy". This way, it works in bash as well (I just tried it).
