For now, try the patch from here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/make-w32/2006-08/msg00104.html Note that after patching, you will need to regenerate the configure script, then repeat the "./configure; make; make install" dance.This patch is the first that I applied before building make. And after applying the patches, configure is automatically regenerated thanks to the automatic dependencies installed by automake. So yeah, even with this patch, it doesn't work.That's strange. Can you show a short self-contained Makefile that exhibits this problem with the Cygwin port of Make?
