Thanks, I'm a bit afar from my MinGW box now, I'll try tomorrow, but
I believe make launches a separate shell per each line, it should be more
alike to this:

+ ( cd "$(shlibdir)" ;\
+ install $(INSTALLSTRIP) -m 755 $(SLIBNAME) $(SLIBNAME_WITH_VERSION) ;\
+ ln -sf $(SLIBNAME_WITH_VERSION) $(SLIBNAME_WITH_MAJOR) ;\
+ ln -sf $(SLIBNAME_WITH_VERSION) $(SLIBNAME) )
