About make versions - I recommend using this one 
(http://www.cmake.org/files/cygwin/make.exe-cygwin1.7) for jdk7 windows 
builds. I tried some make versions (binary and source) and only this 
binary worked for me with amd64 builds. Some make versions fail 
immediately, some work on i386 but fail on amd64 during hotspot build. I 
haven't tried make 4.0 though (it was not available at the time).
