I wanted to see whether I could reproduce this, so I took a brief look at Git 
for Windows and found it to be a minimalistic MSYS2 environment that provides 
neither a toolchain (binutils, autoconf, automake, gcc, make etc) nor a package 
manager. By contrast, the standalone MSYS2 distribution from 
https://www.msys2.org/ offers pacman.

Given that, it makes me wonder where your make utility is coming from. Since 
you do not appear to be using a normal instance of "git bash", could you 
perhaps elaborate as to the nature of the environment in which you are trying 
to perform the build?
