Hi Kelly:
So I'm trying to work out some jdk7 Makefile performance improvements
and everything is working out fine on Linux and OpenSolaris...
Then I discover that the GNU make features I'm using are seriously
broken in GNU make 3.80 and I need 3.81 to get around it. :^(
That's painful.
Also it turns out that GNU make 3.78.1 and 3.79 are definitely out
of the question because they don't even implement some the make
functions I need. I suspect many people still use GNU make 3.78.1
or 3.79.
So do I continue on, and assume a new requirement to upgrade to GNU make
3.81 because of these changes (on all platforms), or do I go back to the
drawing board and try and make the changes work with 3.80, or even
3.78.1 ???
If we can find a Windows/Cygwin GNU make v3.81 or better that works, I'd
vote for updating the requirement to 3.81 for all.
I have a 3.81 for cygwin at http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ohair/make.exe
See if that works for you.

I am currently using Cygwin GNU make v3.80 on Windows due to the
later Cygwin builds not supporting MS-DOS drive letters or paths:
