Yep.  It's a bug in the Cygwin version of make.  It looks like there is
a typo in the make sources (specifically default.c).  I thought I'd
corrected this in the past but somehow it slipped by.

I've fixed this and it should be in the next version of cygwin make.  I
don't have a release date for this but it should be in the next couple
of weeks.
