Two things:
1. The make that comes with cygwin is gnumake 3.75, I need features
introduced in 3.76 (target-specific variable values, a sane
VPATH/vpath algorithm)
2. The configure bug affects ANY package, not just gnumake, and is
in fact, a symptom of a much worse bug in cygwin b20 where
variable values are just "lost" after about 17-20 interations of
a loop in sh.
I could say something about "useful contributions" to the list but I won't.
