Actually, Janet Anderson helped me get this working.

Is this a problem with a mingw gnu make or is it a problem with using bash to build the system for win32-x86 (on windows I am building using the windows supplied dos shell). On my system mingw does not include a gnu make binary, but I might have an older version of mingw.
