If the Makefile does a recursive make (using $(MAKE)), and your gmake
doesn't set $(MAKE) properly (i.e., it's set to "make"), then there's a
chance that the recursive invocation is picking up Cygwin's make. You
could set MAKE=gmake explicitly, or indeed set MAKE_MODE=win32 to make
Cygwin make behave the same as the Win32 version...
