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.
