One difference which screams out is that the older version was built natively whereas 3.79 was built for, and presumably installed as part of, the Cygwin environment. This is very likely the problem. It's not worth explaining all the issues here: the answer is to get or build a native GNU make (and preferably upgrade to 3.80 in the process). Prebuilt native versions are easy to come by: google for "GNUWin32" or "MSYS".
