Upgrading Cygwin to the current version is always recommended.  It may
or may not help in any particular situation but it makes sure that your
working off the current stuff that can more easily be debugged.

The problem you describe isn't something that's been reported to this
list.  Given that the symptoms you report would indicate a very broken
make, it's unlikely that we wouldn't have heard about it before now.
So I think the best way for us to help you understand how to get your
environment working properly is for you to send to the list a small
example of a case that doesn't work for you and a description of how
to reproduce it.  Then, others here can try to reproduce your problem
and can see exactly what you're doing.  cygcheck output will be helpful
too.  See the link below for more details on providing cygcheck output
and what a good problem report includes.
