OK, I identified the problem: your shell is ash (or dash), while mine is
bash. When I explictly require ash (#!/bin/ash), then I have the exact same
error as you have. It seems that ash uses PATH to resolve the "." builtin.
When one does:
  . ./paths.mk 
then it works with ash (and bash as well).

In this case, ash is correct. See:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V3_chap02.html#dot
where it is stated:
 ... If /file/ does not contain a <slash>, the shell shall use the search
 path specified by PATH to find the directory containing /file/. ...

Thank you for pointing this problem out. I will fix that.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
