I meant the values of $PATH and $SHELL *inside* make.
Try inserting the following before that command:
@(echo $$SHELL && echo $$PATH)
and see what it prints.
Also, what is MAKE_MODE set to in your environment? What version of make
are you using? What version of Cygwin? Please attach (as an uncompressed
text *attachment*) the output of "cygcheck -svr" to your message, as
suggested in <http://cygwin.com/problems.html> -- it will contain all the
above information.
