cygwin ships GNU make 3.81, which suffers from bug 20033, which is triggered by some of the gbuild stuff if built with -jN for N>1 (ironically i think what triggers it is the response-file stuff that writes command lines that are "too long" to temp files, which is only needed on Windows anyway...) iirc GNU make 3.82 has some performance regression (it stats files unnecessarily), which is barely noticed on Unix but makes it rather slow on Windows. somebody from the LO community built this binary, which is said to be both fast and crash-free, perhaps you should try it out: http://dev-www.libreoffice.org/bin/cygwin/make regards, michael
