That change doesn't eliminate the build error:

"Installing created executable ../../../bin/windows-x64-static/snc.exe"
../Makefile:59: PATH_FILTER is deprecated; used for
../../../bin/windows-x64-static/lemon.exe

operable program or batch file.

The error occurs on the call to lemon.exe, so the rename of the temp
file never happens.  The O.windows-x64-static dir contains an empty
snl.bnf.tmp file.  Issuing "make" a second time no longer allows the
build to succeed; it fails on the same line as the first call to "make".
