I suspect that you are running into issues of using more than one 
runtime MSYS and MSVCRT.  MSYS provides its own versions of make so 
that it can control the processes.  You've used the MSYS toolset to 
build a new version of make for a target that uses the MSVCRT runtime 
and MSYS does not have control of it.  Use your new version of make 
without MSYS in the PATH and use the CMD.EXE shell.  If you still have 
problems then there is an issue with make; else it will be impossible 
for you to prove there is one.
