I'm using Cygwin make-3.79.1-5 on a largeish project. While we're not using .d files we do have a lot of dependecies spread across several makefiles that get included by other makefiles. I'm trying to see if we're affected by this problem as startup takes longer than I would have thought it should do, guessing from when I last used make on a largish project a couple of years back. So I tried the MinGW precompiled make but it's actually slower than the Cygwin one (and works slightly differently - $(shell find -iname \*.wav) fails).
How much improvement have you noticed with the FSF one? Can you tell me where to get a precompiled binary of it?

I think we have our issue sorted: when we use the FSF win32 port of make 3.79.1, dependency checking works fine - when we use the cygwin port of make 3.79.1, it doesn't. For the moment we can get away with using the FSF port, but as soon as I get time I'll try to track down where the cygwin problem originated.
