Yes GNU make rocks the world, and since I have started using it my
development life has been better.

I use the TI dsp compiler with the djgpp GNU make just fine on my 
win95 machine.  I even run perl scripts from make with no problem.
From my experience STDOUT and STDERR "do the right thing".

One thing you might consider, is make using command.com as the shell
to execute programs?  I found that using bash as the shell promotes
UNIX/win95 portabiltity of makefiles.  This might help STDOUT vs. 
STDERR problems.
