It sounds abit like you are trying to make eggs without involving a chicken
..
or put another way, you are trying to compile gcc (a compiler) because you
need a compiler, however you need a compiler to compile the compiler, and
hense it wont compile :P

If you do already have a C compiler then the makefile is either a: Pants,
b: badly written, or c: configured for a different version of make.exe and
is hense not compatible.

Things to check are that a: make is being found, b: its being run in the
same
dir as the MakeFile, c: the stuff in the makefile makes sense, eg it doesnt

say things like

CC=Insert Your Compiler Here

etc etc,

Hope thats of some help
