The problem is that Make invokes the shell with -c, e.g.
bash -c "gcc ..."
cmd.exe doesn't understand that and apparently ignores it. But when
you supply /c, yielding
cmd.exe /c -c "gcc ..."
It complains. Basocally, make expects a shell that accepts Unix shell
args. You could create a wrapper for the windows shell that does,
maybe, but you can't use the windows shell directly from Cygwin's
make.
