I am not certain if this is relevant but I am successfully using _mingw_ gnu
make as follows. 

>mingw32-make -v

Perhaps there could be an issue with translation of posix type of file paths
to windows type of file paths in _gnuwin32_ make? 

Janet Anderson, locally there at the aps, is the number one expert on the
EPICS build system.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is
not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they
are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them
as they fly overhead. -- RFC 1925
