Are you using the make that is packaged with Cygwin?  It does not
support Win32 paths, i.e. those with a drive letter, because Cygwin
targets a *nix environment.  You are meant to use MinGW make if you need
to use Win32 paths.  Upstream CVS make has code to support Win32 paths
when built in unix mode as with Cygwin, and so that is another
alternative.
