I've fixed this for the next release.  I don't have access to anything older than Visual Studio 2010, and I don't use Windows anyway.  If you want to ensure that GNU make continues to compile properly on older versions of Visual Studio I urge you to participate by downloading and attempting to build the pre-releases when they're announced (on the -email is unavailable- mailing list) in your environment.  That's the only way to be sure these problems won't re-appear.  Thanks for the report!

Hi I had this issue also. Visual Studio 2008 is still common. Please enable correct functionality without necessitating the user change the code.

Visual Studio 2008 and earlier lack isblank().

At line 36 of w32/pathstuff.c replace

        if (isblank ((unsigned char) *etok))

with

        if (ISBLANK ((unsigned char) *etok))

Thank you.
