IMHO it's always better to go with a Cygwin way of doing things instead
of installing some Unix/Linux thing through some Windows port like this
Symbian\tools thing...

That make.exe was installed by Symbian Qt SDK which is windows native, nothing to do with cygwin. In fact, that make.exe calls a perl script called make.pl:

use FindBin;
use lib $FindBin::Bin;
use tlaunch;
callTool('','\\epoc32\\tools\\make.exe',\@ARGV);

So anyway, the problem is caused when calling a binary present on windows path that can match a cygwin one, for example running a ./configure script.
 After removing make the issue is happening again:

$ make
cygwin warning:
  MS-DOS style path detected: /usr/local/bin/C:\Program
  Preferred POSIX equivalent is: /usr/local/bin/C:/Program
CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this warning.
  Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:

Can't find C:\Program on PATH.
