Actually what you mean is "...with the current version of Cygwin, in the
way I have it installed on my machine, and with the underlying version
of Windows on my machine". At least one of those things is outside the
scope of the prc-tools build instructions.

(This should be obvious to any Unix old hand. :-))
People (not necessarily Ken) complain that they don't know what "make
error 255" means. If they care to look in the make documentation, what
they'll find is that make is simply reporting an error code returned by
some other program, and you'd hope that the other program has already
given a more useful error message. Sadly the shell Ken is using has not;
but when I configure things on Linux similarly to what Ken is doing I get
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/johnm/build/prc-tools-m68k/crt/mown-gp'
/home/johnm/Program Files/Cygwin/bin/install -c -d /tmp/m68k-palmos/lib
make: /home/johnm/Program: Command not found
make: *** [install] Error 127
thus making it clear that Ken's problem is that he has not followed
Cygwin setup.exe's recommendation to avoid choosing a root path for Cygwin
that includes spaces.

<shrug> And I guess in reply I have too many answers and too much
helpful advice to mention them all here :-). Suffice it to say "works
for me". Perhaps much of this is more fallout from your mistake above.
