I doubt it's getting the wrong version of "link"; it appears to be
running Microsoft's "link":

However, if Leonardo's "home directory" (or whatever it's called in
Windowsland) is really C:\Documents and Settings\leo&mik or something
with an "&" in it, some program might be treating the "&" as a token
separator and looking for C:\DOCUME~1\leo rather than C:
\DOCUME~1\leo&mik.

This appears to be a bit of a botch in Microsoft's nmake, as I think
"@<<" is sort of like a "here document" in UN*X shells, i.e.

       @<<
blah blah blah
<<

means it copies the text between the "@<<" and the "<<" into a file,
and passes the name of the file as an argument; perhaps it needs to
quote the file name?
