For reference, here is a list of which builds of GNU make are known
to work or not, and whether they work in the presence and/or absence
- of sh.exe, the Cygwin port of Bash.
+ of sh.exe, the Cygwin port of Bash. Note that any version of make
+ that is compiled with Cygwin will only work with Cygwin tools, due to
+ the use of cygwin style paths. This means Cygwin make is unsuitable
+ for building parts of Emacs that need to invoke Emacs itself (leim and
+ "make bootstrap", for example). Also see the Trouble-shooting section
+ below if you decide to go ahead and use Cygwin make.

Notes:
[1] doesn't cope with makefiles with DOS line endings, so must mount
emacs source with text!=binary.
[2] fails when needs to invoke shell commands; okay invoking gcc etc.
- [3] requires LC_MESSAGES support to build; maybe 2.95.x update to
- cygwin provides this?
+ [3] requires LC_MESSAGES support to build; cannot build with early

[4] may fail on Windows 9X and Windows ME; if so, install Bash.
+ [5] fails when building leim due to the use of cygwin style paths.
+ May work if building emacs without leim.
