I downloaded the source code for the above and ran into the problem
pretty quickly. make was allocating an ever-increasing amount of memory
due to a problem with the processing of eight bit characters with the
high-bit set. That caused the character to be interpreted as negative
and that caused negative indexing off an array.
The upcoming make-4.0-2 release should fix this problem.
Was this a problem with the upstream source? Or just a problem with the
cygwin build of it?
