The reason make in particular needs to be a native Windows program and not live in the Cygwin fantasy world where everything looks like Unix, is that make's sole purpose is to run external programs with filenames as arguments. Passing "/cygdrive/c/site-lisp/jde.el" to Emacs on a Windows platform is not going to get the result that the original poster wants.
