I don't think I can suggest many things since it is a long time since
I have compiled WWWOFFLE on cygwin.

I have heard from somebody recently that has vompiles WWWOFFLE version
2.7h on Windows 2000 without a problem.

You could try deleting the lines in the file called configure that
have the problems.  It might work.


The lines that you need to delete are all of the ones from here:

echo $ac_n "checking whether ${MAKE-make} sets \${MAKE}""... $ac_c" 1>&6
echo "configure:962: checking whether ${MAKE-make} sets \${MAKE}" >&5
set dummy ${MAKE-make}; ac_make=`echo "$2" | sed 'y%./+-%__p_%'`

down to here:

else
  echo "$ac_t""no" 1>&6
  SET_MAKE="MAKE=${MAKE-make}"
fi

you need to delete the whole block of 26 lines.
