To answer my own question:
I found I could get passed this error by building in a Cygwin context.
(The problem may have been a mixup [on the part of cmd.exe] about whether
the filesystem separator is / or \ )
Thank you

Subject: Building Perl6 on Windows (7) -- gmake finds ...... empty
To: perl6-compi...@perl.org
Dear Rakuders,
I'm trying to build rakudo star 2020.11 . After git'ng rakudo to c:\rakuo,
I ...
C:\rakudo>perl ./Configure.pl --gen-parrot
--gen-parrot-option=--optimize [same thing happens without the --optimize]
This successfully retrieves parrot with git, and gets deeply into the build
of parrot but then fails on:
.\miniparrot.exe -Iruntime/parrot/include config_lib.pir >
runtime/parrot/include/config.fpmc
gmake: *** [runtime/parrot/include/config.fpmc] Error -1073741819
Command failed (status 512): gmake install-dev
Error while executing C:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe
build/gen_parrot.pl--prefix=C:/rakudo/parrot_install --optimize;
aborting
I looked at runtime/parrot/include/config.fpmc -- it is empty.
I re-gitted parrot on the assumption that config.fpmc might not have been
properly downloaded by the first git -- same error occurs.
I'm using Strawberry perl 5.12 and git 1.7.0.2, and am running under Windows
7.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Peter Schwenn
