What make does essentially boils down to running programs with arguments, which are often filenames generated by make. The reason Cygwin make does not work (and has never worked except for a brief period when we had cygpath hacks in the makefile that ended up breaking builds on mingw make) for bootstrapping Emacs is that Cygwin make generates Cygwin style paths, which Emacs recognizes, but only through code in w32-fns.el which is not yet loaded during bootstrapping. > The reason I use cygwin make in this case is because mingw make > chokes parsing emacs makefiles. In what way?
