We don't have MinGW, but we do have multiple versions of a software (development tools from Altera) installed on these computers, which all contains a copy of cygwin (different versions but all with make). This makefile however was run from a standalone cygwin. I will do a little bit more digging tomorrow and come back with my findings. More suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
