I'm going to assume you sent this here because you're using a Cygwin version
of 'make'.  It really doesn't sound like you're using Cygwin in a way it
was intended.  You are probably better off looking at Mingw or some other
native port of 'make'.  Still, from the limited details you've provided,
you're successfully using Cygwin's 'make' (again, I'm assuming, otherwise
your inquiry would be off-topic for this list) on other machines and you're
just having problems on your personal machine.  If that's the case, the
best advice I can offer is to compare your installation and configuration
with the successful machines.  That's likely a quicker route to success
than relying on someone here trying to spot a problem based on the content
of your email to this list, all things considered.
