Yes, this is a known problem with Make on Windows.  I believe it has
been corrected in the current development code, which will be soon
released as Make 3.81.  You can try fetching the latest release
candidate from this URL:

  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/make/make-3.81rc2.tar.gz

The file README.W32 includes instructions for building Make on
Windows.

If this problem doesn't go away with the new version of Make, please
report that.
