Make 3.77 problem, Drive letter colon

Version 3.77 has problems that version 3.75 does not.
Command executed:
make all
The following makefile fails on version 3.77 but not on 3.75
----------------------------------------
all : E:\Projects\a.txt
echo 'Done'
E:\Projects\a.txt :
echo 'Hello' >E:\Projects\a.txt
----------------------------------------
Error reported:
makefile:4: *** target pattern contains no `%'. Stop.
----------------------------------------
The following works on both versions
----------------------------------------
all : \\E\Projects\a.txt
echo 'Done'
\\E\Projects\a.txt :
echo 'Hello' >\\E\Projects\a.txt
----------------------------------------
I suspect a bug fix is needed to handle the windows drive letter colon.
NOTE: I also tried the following commands which still give the same
failure:
make --unix all
make --win32 all
