I think Dave wants you to get the mingw-make from the mingw project site

Yes, I fill that. But that's a little bit complicated: to benefit from a
"pure" windows binary, you can compile a mingw binary using cygwin tools.
But you still need to download the make tool from the mingw website.
In *certain* cases -- if you're lucky -- you can use the cygwin make,
but you have to turn off automatic dependency tracking in your project.
For projects that use automake, you can do this using
--disable-dependency-tracking. But there are significant drawbacks to
doing this. And if it breaks your project, you get to keep all the
pieces (e.g. doing this is not supported by us, or anyone else).
Or, you can hack the makefile or put wrapper scripts around the compiler to
post-process the generated dependencies using cygpath (details left as
exercise for reader).
cheers,
