Err... I wouldn't expect that to work on any POSIX platform.  gcc
searches for includes in directories specified by -I on its command
line, not based on $PATH...

See, it's searching in "../src/include", in addition to the default
compiler directories.  If the Makefile is 'standard', you could
probably do:
make CFLAGS='-I /cygdrive/c/Program\ files/MPICH2/include' hellow
to convince it to search in the MPICH2 include dir as well.
(you may or may not need the \ before the space in program files,
depending on how make does its argument splitting, I'm not really
sure)

But anyway, this isn't really on-topic here, since this is just a
general "How to compile in a POSIX environment" question.
