Using make in the latest cygwin

I just updated my cygwin install and found that my old gmake from a vendor no 
longer worked.  After switching to the make distributed with cygwin I found 
that it no longer likes seeing full paths in the form of "c:/a/b/c.c".
Now it seems to want me to use the full "/cygdrive/c/a/b/c.c".
The problem is that the compiler toolchain I have to use wants DOS paths.
Also, when I want to make a rule that tries to use redirection:
blah:
	echo blah > blah

I have to invoke it with sh:
blah:
	sh -c echo blah > blah

Is there a way to reconcile these differences?
