Getting no response, I downloaded the GNU make 3.80-1 sources from:

   http://mirrors.kernel.org/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/release/make/

and do a configure/build with -g.   And it works just fine.  No problem 
finding the source files in VPATH.

Just to make sure, I compared my binary /usr/bin/make.exe to the one 
from the .tar.bz2 file downloaded from the above URL, and they were 
identical.

Seems like maybe an GCC optimization bug somewhere, which my debug build 
doesn't trigger?
