I don't even pretend to understand one word of any version of the GPL, so I couldn't say. However, if it were my own project, what I would do is provide a trivial script to *download* gnuwin gmake binary directly from the official gnuwin servers (or another legitimate mirror). I'm neither a lawyer nor a GPL expert, so I can't say 100% for *certain* (but then, what ever *is* 100% certain in US law without being individually tested in court?), but FWIW I would be very surprised if that approach would be objectionable, since we wouldn't actually be distributing it ourselves, just providing a tool that retrieves it from the actual distributor.
