Not necessarily, but the GNUmake source code tends to use unix constructs that can only be "translated" into something similar under W32. This tends to be slow. I suggest checking out 'Cygwin' (http://www.cygwin.com), a POSIX-layer for use on W32, that comes with it's own (ported) set of tools, including a 'make' 3.79.1 natively compiled by the GNU c compiler. Works perfectly for me!
And for completeness, if you're not interested in the POSIX-layer runtime for building your packages but need a POSIX system that'll execute a typical configure script check out, http://www.mingw.org/msys.shtml. It contains the same version of make as Cygwin does.
