I'm not aware of any changes in this are, but I may be wrong.  Can you
post a short self-contained Makefile that reproduces this behavior
without requiring to install the w32api sources?

Btw, are you using the same versions of Binutils (dlltool, ar and
ranlib) with both versions of Make?  If not, perhaps the invoked
programs cause this somehow.
