I think it's pretty clear that make doesn't like you. I'd just back
away slowly, talking nicely to it, and, when it isn't looking, jump for
the keyboard and quickly delete make.exe altogether. Maybe, if you
reinstall, you'll get a friendlier version. Possibly the mirror
site that you downloaded make from originally was just in a bad
mood.
