I couldn't reproduce the problem you had with this makefile.  That suggests
to me that there is some unknown BLODA on your system.  I have 2
suggestions:

    1. Trim your path to those essential for Cygwin and Windows operation.
    2. Stop all non-essential services (Cygwin and Windows).

Try again in this configuration.
