[Sebastian Hengst [:aryx] (needinfo me if it's about an intermittent or backout)]

We got another report of this in chat today.

Comment 3

[Mitchell Hentges [:mhentges] 🦀]

The issue in chat was caused by two reasons:

1. The user had their own MinGW installation in their $PATH
2. We prioritize several make variants (including mingw32-make) over our bootstrapped make
3. (EDIT): MozillaBuild 4.0 also stopped resetting the %PATH% like previous MozillaBuild installations, so external tools are once again visible to the build system.

One solution here is to look for make variants, ignoring any of them that don't meet our make version requirements. If none match that filter, then bootstrap.
