make says something like this:

Makefile:1: *** multiple target patterns.  Stop.

As I understand, it interprets the input as

targets : target_pattern : \
sort_of_another_target_pattern : ... \
: at_last__prerequisite_pattern

The paths themselves are correct.

The problem is cygwin is not WinAVR host environment,
it has it's own based on msys.
It's gcc honestly tells where it's headers have been installed.
I checked the WinAVR make, it can deal with such dependencies.
Unfortunately, it does not work on cygwin.

Probably the best is to build WinAVR tools from scratch on cygwin.

Bad news.

Thank you. This would be really better.
