This is cygwin make, not djgpp make.  Cygwin make uses colons, not
semicolons.  If semicolons actually *work*, that's a bug.

Actually, it's not cygwin make, it's GNU:

$ make --version GNU Make version 3.79.1, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.

The "real" home for GNU make has the same statement:

"In the VPATH variable, directory names are separated by colons or bla= nks. The order in which directories are listed is the order followed by mak= e in its search. (On MS-DOS and MS-Windows, semi-colons are used as separat= ors of directory names in VPATH, since the colon can be used in the pathnam= e itself, after the drive letter.) "

The nice thing about Windows is - It does not just crash, it displays a
dialog box and lets you press 'OK' first.
