Please refer to the lengthy discussion on the Cygwin list. To summarize, the Cygwin version of make prior to 3.81 contained local patches to support both posix and Windows paths. The Cygwin maintainer got tired of continuously maintaining these local patches and so when packaging 3.81 the vanilla sources were used. This means that only posix paths work. However, completely separate from Cygwin is the native (mingw) build of make which has always supported Windows paths and always will. So it's completely wrong to say that make doesn't support Windows paths. You should use this version if you need to support such paths. The only thing that has changed was on the part of the Cygwin make maintainer, and so this discussion belongs on the Cygwin list (where it has already been hashed out in length.)
