Maybe I misunderstood. You were comparing two versions of make as if you'd
upgraded from one version of make to another. I have the CD version of Cygwin
installed on my work machine which of course comes with make 3.77.
Do you have the MAKE_MODE=unix set? The switch should override the environment
but maybe it doesn't. Make sure MAKE_MODE is unset and try the switches again.

There was a problem with make that we noticed after the CD was released. I've
posted a patch here previously. I don't have it at my fingertips, currently.

FWIW, the Cygwin CD defaults to MAKE_MODE=unix.

I'm not sure I can help further, but send the output of `cygcheck -s -v -r' and
`cygcheck make' pasted in a mail.

Were the necessary patches applied to 3.77 to allow for the differences of the
filesystem? If not then only the UNIX mode will work.

Version 3.77 has problems that version 3.75 does not.
Command executed:
make all
The following makefile fails on version 3.77 but not on 3.75
----------------------------------------
all : E:\Projects\a.txt
echo 'Done'
E:\Projects\a.txt :
echo 'Hello' >E:\Projects\a.txt
----------------------------------------
Error reported:
makefile:4: *** target pattern contains no `%'. Stop.
----------------------------------------
The following works on both versions
----------------------------------------
all : \\E\Projects\a.txt
echo 'Done'
\\E\Projects\a.txt :
echo 'Hello' >\\E\Projects\a.txt
----------------------------------------
I suspect a bug fix is needed to handle the windows drive letter colon.
NOTE: I also tried the following commands which still give the same
failure:
make --unix all
make --win32 all
