That's because the configure script was not updated to compile the
added file w32/compat/posixfcn.c.  Patches are welcome.

The latest git should compile for you without OUTPUT_SYNC defined, so
that is another option.

Once again: I suggest to use the build_w32.bat script for building a
MinGW Make.  That script is currently the only officially supported
way of building the Windows port of Make, and it works out of git as
well.  It defines OUTPUT_SYNC automatically, and compiles all the
source files needed for that.
