It has to do with having an sh in your PATH or not.   gmake behaves 
differently based on the shell it is using to run programs.

If you grab CVS make and build for cygwin it will have my patch.  The 
cygwin folks dropped support for windows drive letters in the make they 
ship.  When the next release of gmake comes out, then cygwin make will 
have my fix in it.
