Hello,
when I run the attached example by calling make I get the following error
message:
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/herb_jo/maketest'
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/herb_jo/maketest'
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/herb_jo/maketest'

If I change the variable TARGETS in the file "Makefile" the "Resource
temporarily unavailable" error is sometimes replaced by
make[5]: execvp: /bin/sh.exe: Invalid argument
Under a certain threshold no error occurs.
I think this could be an error in the implementation of execvp in cygwin. I
tried tracing the error and ended at a call to _go32_dpmi_simulate_int(0x21,
&r) in cygwin-1.3.2-1/newlib/libc/sys/go32/exec.c. I am not shure whats going
on here.
My version of make is:
GNU Make version 3.79.1, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.

The same Makefiles are working as expected with linux.
Thank you for your help
Bye,
Joachim
