Make won't do any multi-processing unless you use the -j switch.  Did
you?

In any case, I don't see how even -j could cause this, because we copy
the whole directory in one command.  There's no way Make could split
that single command into more than one, because it's not smart enough
to understand what the command does.

Please tell the details of the system on which this happens: what
Windows version, on what type of filesystem(s) (NTFS, FAT, other) you
have the relevant directories (the source one and the one that is the
target of "make install"), etc.  The versions of Make and the shell
you are using and what kind of ports they are could also be of
importance.
