I have come accross a bug in Cygwin B20.1's make
utility

After trying a little, I found the differnce can
be expressed with the follwing makefile.

-----------------------------------
# mt.mak -- test make

all: 
 echo \"hello\"

-----------------------------------
my results are as follows.

gmake is an older cygwin make. (it loads cygwin.dll)
both are version 3.75


For make  in cygwin b20.1 

$ make -f mt.mak
echo \"hello\"
\\""hello\\""


For make from an ealier version of cygwin (B19?)
$ make -f mt.mak
echo \"hello\"
"hello"

From Linux make 3.76.1

$ make -f mt.mak
echo \"hello\"
"hello"


How do I submit this bug? 
Does anyone have a workaround?
