I saw your ports already.
One question to them: why are the executables so large?
The original make-3.81 (cygwin-1.7) is really small.

$ ls -l make-*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ente59 Domänen-Benutzer  816396 Jul 21 09:24 make-3.80.exe
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ente59 Domänen-Benutzer  151552 Jan 19  2011 make-3.81.exe
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ente59 Domänen-Benutzer 1564971 Dec 23  2009 make-3.81.rwalker.exe
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ente59 Domänen-Benutzer 1582104 Aug  1  2010 make-3.82.rwalker.exe

$ strip make*rwalker*
$ ls -l make-*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ente59 Domänen-Benutzer  816396 Jul 21 09:24 make-3.80.exe
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ente59 Domänen-Benutzer  151552 Jan 19  2011 make-3.81.exe
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ente59 Domänen-Benutzer 1170958 Aug 11 07:18 make-3.81.rwalker.exe
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ente59 Domänen-Benutzer 1173518 Aug 11 07:18 make-3.82.rwalker.exe
