That make.exe was installed by Symbian Qt SDK which is windows native, 
nothing to do with cygwin. In fact, that make.exe calls a perl script 
called make.pl:

use FindBin;
use lib $FindBin::Bin;
use tlaunch;
callTool('','\\epoc32\\tools\\make.exe',\@ARGV);

So anyway, the problem is caused when calling a binary present on 
windows path that can match a cygwin one, for example running a 
./configure script.
  After removing make the issue is happening again:

$ make
cygwin warning:
   MS-DOS style path detected: /usr/local/bin/C:\Program
   Preferred POSIX equivalent is: /usr/local/bin/C:/Program
   CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this 
warning.
   Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:

Can't find C:\Program on PATH.
