COMMAND.COM should not be used. The correct shell is /bin/sh,exe, which is
ash.  This fails the first time through a build (as there is notheing to
update).

I don't see that with my make and sh.  The command run is

/cygdrive/c/R/tools/make DLLNM=  FLIBS="-lg2c" EXTRADOCS= \
  -C c:/R/rw1040/src/library/ctest PKG=ctest RHOME=c:/R/rw1040 RLIB=c:/R/rw1040/library \
  -f c:/R/rw1040/src/gnuwin32/MakePkg

make[3]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/c/R/rw1040/src/library/ctest/src'
  DLL made

....

so it looks like make is mis-behaving.  On the other hand, I have not idea
what it is for (Guido?) and suggest you remove it from
src/gnuwin32/Makefile.
