I think the build worked fine for me back in October (at least I don't remember having to execute "make BUILDEXE=.exe". It seems something changed in the intervening time. Hmm. Looking at CVS suggests that 2.2 sets BUILDEXE correctly if you are building in-tree, but not out of tree. Could that be the difference?

Ah, that's the problem! Building out-of-tree doesn't work on the 2.2.X branch.

This was in patch #557719, which was checked in as Makefile.pre.in 1.86. It wasn't backported because the patch does more than only enabling out-of-tree builds, and the rest of the patch can't be backported.
