This looks like the .deps/ file(s) contain(s) target(s) like

C:\\foo\bar.o:
C:\\foo\mumble.o:

or something like that.  I think MinGW's make can handle this,
correctly taking the entire string as the target, while Cygwin's
(Unix-style) make thinks the target were just "C", and thus complains.
(The same would happen if you tried compiling that entire tree under
a Unix-style OS.)

Either use MinGW's make, or try deleting the entire .deps subdirectory
first.  If Cygwin's make rebuilds the .deps files, it will use the
Cygwin-style notation of /cygdrive/c/foo/bar.o etc.

Complain to Microsoft for still using CP/M-style "drive" names. ;-)
