There is a similar post from 2009 where the conclusion is that this
can be caused by very deep forking
(http://readlist.com/lists/cygwin.com/cygwin/6/34359.html). Is it
possible that the make script does very deep, or is stuck in infinite,
recursion?

Err, 'very deep' was a bit misleading, the error seemed to show up at
2-3 levels according to the last post in that thread.

In cygwin 1.7 chmod does not work with MS DOS style paths and I need to convert
these paths to POSIX style paths before doing the chmod
Is there a way to create a wrapper chmod.exe that will do this conversion and
