Do you mean gnu make as in b20.1? It has serious problems with recursive
makefiles (e.g. egcs configure and build). For my purposes, replacing it
with make-3.77 has been satisfactory, at least when running NT or W2K. We
have had hints here that a modified make-3.77 will be in the next major
version of cygwin.
