I believe that I had a similar problem with the b20 make distribution. 
To correct it I downloaded, built, and installed the latest make 
distribution. Configure and make work out of the box. Install doesn't 
because "make install" looks for "make" instead of "make.exe". To 
correct the problem for make and other gnu packages, go to 
http://www.delorie.com/archives/browse.cgi?p=cygwin/1998/11/15/04:47:59, an 
article in the cygwin email archives. This will tell you how to fix up 
"make install". This ought to be in a faq some where but I don't know 
if it is. Hope this helps.

The result is the same for:

MAKE_MODE=UNIX
SHELL=bash
target::
	ls

or

SHELL=bash
target::
	ls

The only way to run simple commands such as "ls" or "echo hello"
was to delete SHELL=bash.
