May g++ output windows-style paths instead of cygwin-style one?

No, there's no way to do that.  You could probably come up with a perl
command that would filter the files through cygpath to convert the
paths, though.

I think it would be more productive for you to get Cygwin make working
than to try to jerry-rig a windows make into a posix environment.  If
you are running into a specific bug in the current packaged version that
is fixed upstream, then you should document it here and the Cygwin
package maintainer might release an updated package.
