Hi!

I've a bit simplified your example:

====8<======== Makefile================
MAKE_LEVEL = 0
LAST_LEVEL = 32

all:
	@echo "MAKE_LEVEL=$(MAKE_LEVEL)"; \
	if [ $(MAKE_LEVEL) -ge $(LAST_LEVEL) ]; then \
		echo "SUCCESS!......."; \
	else \
		make_level=`expr $(MAKE_LEVEL) + 1`; \
		$(MAKE) MAKE_LEVEL=$$make_level LAST_LEVEL=$(LAST_LEVEL); \
	fi
=====8<==================================

When typing: "make" at the bash prompt I can get 27 nested make calls, then
get a "Pipe call failed" error :-(

I have quite a lot of available memory (About 100Mb available when the error
occurs). Maybe there is some limitation on the number of processes managed
by cygwin ?-)

Just a small try :-)

	Bernard
