Well... setting MAKE_MODE to "win32" also makes the process stop with the same error message, without even reading the Makefile. It seems that only "unix" is accepted, and there's already a "--unix" parameter that does the same thing.
I'm talking about an already existing Makefile, here. One that expects MAKE_MODE to be set to something else than "unix", for its own purpose, and doesn't care about windows-style paths.
The --unix flag is a much better option, in my opinion, because it makes "make" depend only on the way it's invoked, instead of relying on environment variables that can vary greatly from one environment to another. Reacting to MAKE_MODE just makes Cygwin's "make" more different and less useful when porting a development environment to Windows/Cygwin.
