Hi Warren,

Thank you for your reply.

Will check it out, I thought this is a cygwin issue since windows
commands were invoked.

We don't have MinGW, but we do have multiple versions of a software
(development tools from Altera) installed on these computers, which
all contains a copy of cygwin (different versions but all with make).

This makefile however was run from a standalone cygwin.

I will do a little bit more digging tomorrow and come back with my
findings. More suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Hua
