Try this patched version of Make:

    http://www.cmake.org/files/cygwin/make.exe

(In general, as long as you invoke the MS compiler, it's better to use
the native build of GNU Make, which you should be able to find on the
MinGW site.  The Cygwin build is better for working with Cygwin tools
and programs, not with native programs.)
