Cygwin is a poor choice of GNU make for compiling non-Cygwin programs
with non-Cygwin compilers. The reason make in particular needs to be
a native Windows program and not live in the Cygwin fantasy world
where everything looks like Unix, is that make's sole purpose is to
run external programs with filenames as arguments. Passing
"/cygdrive/c/site-lisp/jde.el" to Emacs on a Windows platform is not
going to get the result that the original poster wants.
