Thanks for posting the info.

This version is very old (released 7 years ago).  I suggest to upgrade
to a newer version.  The latest one is here:

   http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/mingw32-make-3.81-1.tar.gz

I looked at line 308 in the Makefile, and couldn't spot anything that
immediately suggest why it would fail.  However, I suspect that the
port of Make 3.78.1 to MS-Windows had some bugs related to file names
with drive letters or something like that.  The latest version of the
ported Make should be cleaner, and even if it has some problems with
this Makefile, we will be able to help you solve them, unlike with the
old version you use now.
