To be clear: the only way this will *ever* show up in a Cygwin make
release is if I am satisfied that all of the people who complained about
this issue will not still be complaining after I make a new release.
So anyone who previously expressed reservations about the current make
behavior should should try the binary that William has graciously made
available and report back here.
And, no, I'm not going to produce a test release of make with this
change. Sending email is about the limit of the effort that I'm willing
to go to for this issue.
