I don't know why you do this.  At any rate, the recent egcs version of 
MINGW32 doesn't include a make program.  If you use cygwin as your main
system, then cygwin make will indeed work with the mingw32 includes and
library.  Just realise that the cygwin egcs/gcc compiler is being driven
by the cygwin make program, and is looking at the mingw32 specs, includes,
and lib files.
