TMS320C6657: Error building NDK 3.40.01.01

Hi,

I get the following error message when trying to run a 'clean' build of the NDK 3.40.01.01. I'm building under windows. XDC version is 3.50.0..24.

C:\work\ndk_3_40_01_01>gmake -f ndk.mak clean
cleaning ndk packages ...
C:\ti\xdctools_3_50_08_24_core\bin\stderr.exe: can't execute 'echo "making" "clean:" "because:" "Invalid" "argument" "C:\ti\xdctools_3_50_08_24_core\bin\stderr.exe:" "can't"  "execute" "'date" "'" "(exit" "status" "=" "-1)" "..." ' (exit status = -1) because: Invalid argument

xdctools_3_50_08_24_core\gmake.exe: *** [_startime] Error 255
gmake: *** [clean] Error 2

Any help would be appreciated.
