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...
