What type of make.exe are you running?  MSYS2 or MinGW?  (Hint: type `which
make` in Bash.)

How exactly are you running it?  From a Bash script, from a MinGW program,
from an MSYS2 program?

How are you passing paths to it?  Are the paths in a file, on the command
line, or in environment variables?

If the paths are in arguments, did you try setting the
"MSYS2_ARG_CONV_EXCL" environment variable to "-" before invoking Make?
