Can you try using the latest release of Make, v3.82?  There were a
couple of bugs in Make 3.81 on Windows that caused similar crashes,
they are fixed in 3.82.  You should be able to find a precompiled
binary of Make 3.82 on the MinGW site, or you could build it yourself,
if you have MinGW installed.  Building Make on Windows doesn't require
anything but a working compiler and Binutils installation, see
README.W32 in the source tarball for instructions.

If using Make 3.82 is not an option, try playing with the environment
variables that are in effect when Make runs, some of the bugs I
mention above were related to looking up and processing environment
variables.
