Details:

On Windows, with a MSVC9 x64 build, I observed the following behavior:

  $ /C/Workspace/src/git/make/WinDebug/make.exe -Otarget
  ...
  make: *** internal error: multiple --sync-mutex options.  Stop.


I could trace this to an invalid manipulation of the
sync_mutex stringlist in main.c, see attached patch which 
fixes the issue. I also tested that patch on Linux where
I could run the test suite with success (couldn't manage
to do that on Windows, unfortunately).
