Same here, almost:

This program built for Windows32
Where did you get the binary of Make? I built mine myself from the
sources, using the build_w32.bat batch file and the MinGW GCC
compiler.

I cannot reproduce this with my copy of Make 3.81: it works correctly
both with and without the quotes.
How about if you build Make yourself, like I did, and see if that
makes the problem go away?

Some snafu in quoting the quote characters when g++ is invoked via
CreateProcess, I presume. But since it works for me, I cannot even
try debugging it.
Is it possible that you are using the MSYS port of Make? If so,
don't: it is not intended to be used except for MSYS work.
