So, install the basic cygwin with or without make. Then put the above make into /usr/bin. Then setup your environment for MSVC (vcvars.bat stuff). Then use the "Unix Makefile" generator. The -j will work then. I think gmake only uses the -j if it has a unix shell, and it does not work from the dos shell.

Thanks, -j is working with this version of make and the compile time is down from 7m45s to 4m30s. I am a little confused about why mingw-make didn't work since in my test program it worked even if I did everything from cmd.exe. Comparing the MinGW and Unix Makefiles there seems to be nothing different except paths so it does seem that make was deciding to disable -j for some reason.

At any rate, it works this way. Do you happen to have a patch that I can grab for the modification to make?
