Basically as a porting layer so I can use GNU software. Why do you ask?
I tested "sh -c make -f makefile.mk" and it does the same thing as before.
I see the same results when executing from a bash shell started from a cmd
shell. If I execute bash from cygnus.bat pointed to by a shortcut, I don't
get the delay.
If I really want to chase this down, it looks like I will need to dive into
Make with gdb.

So, exactly what are _you_ using Cygwin for? Are you using the POSIX layer
of
Cygwin?
What happens if you modify the make command to be "sh -c 'make'"? Do you
see
the same results when executing make from bash?
