It looks like this is a customized version of GNU make. Obviously there's no way we can know what changes were made and so of course we cannot give you any advice on how to work around those changes, if that's even possible.
FWIW, the same (or similar) version of make works as expected for me on Windows 2000 using either Paul's sleep Makefile (with cygwin sleep), or the one modified to use pause. make --version gives:
