Try this instead.

========>
NEW_FLAGS=$(shell cygpath -w /Programs/Oracle)

default:
	echo Newflags is $(NEW_FLAGS)
<========

Which outputs:
========>
Newflags is d:ProgramsOracle
560:craig$ make
echo Newflags is d:\Programs\Oracle
Newflags is d:ProgramsOracle
<========

Of course, all those backslashes present a problem for echo, but the 
make variable is set correctly.  You should be able to use the 
variable contents with Win32 native applications without problems.
