Subject: question my sh commands in makefile works on linux but not on cygwin

Need help with following problem.
I have very simple makefile with following rule:

test:
        @echo "this is a test"
        @if [ "1" = "1" ] ; then \
                echo "working" ; \
        fi ;

If I do a make on linux I correctly see ...

this is a test
working

But in cygwin when I make using same makeifle I see this ...

"this is a test"
"1" was unexpected at this time.
make.exe: *** [test] Error 0x1

The MAKE_MODE is set to unix. Does anybody
know why the make is failing to parse this? I checked
the newsgroup and manual don't see what is causing
this to fail. 

thanks
