file access problems with 2.0.7 and 2.2.0

[Douglas Egan]

I experienced the following problem on both 2.0.7 and now on 2.2.0

I am using a samba filesystem on freebsd for my win32 server.  I try to run compiles from the mount and they fail.  The samba logs don't show anything unusual, and I can execute other executables from the mounted directory.  I think it might have something to do with path lengths, and possibly traversing up and down several levels during the compile execution.

Here is the error I get when running from the mounted g: drive
server:/usr2/solaris_dir/cdtest  mounted as g:

G:\apr16\target\config\m5307c3>make clean
cccf -M -MG -m5200 -ansi  -O2 -fvolatile -Wall -I/h   -I. -IG:\apr16\target\conf
ig\all -IG:\apr16\target/h -IG:\apr16\target/src/config -IG:\apr16\target/src/dr
v -DCPU=MCF5200     hello.c sysLib.c sysSerial.c G:\apr16\target\config\all/boot

gPad.c G:\apr16\target\config\all/usrConfig.c G:\apr16\target\config\all/version
.c > depend.m5307c3
cccf: installation problem, cannot exec `G:/apr16/host/x86-win32/lib/gcc-lib/cf-
wrs-vxworks/gcc-2.96/cpp.exe': No such file or directory
make: *** [depend.m5307c3] Error 0x1
make: *** Deleting file `depend.m5307c3'

cccf is our ColdFire cross compiler based on gnu gcc 2.96

It is interesting to note that if I dismount the samba mount and remount it using an nfs client, then it works.  Also if I remount it under TAS (TotalNet Advanced Server) then it works also.

I am not sure how to proceed to debug this issue.
