This is the problem you should use the Cygwin / MSYS make command. Be sure to
set the Cygwin or MSYS path before the GNAT's one.

Note that Dmitriy and I are developping AWS on Windows box (Dmitriy uses MSYS,
I use Cygwin) so we are always sure that AWS compiles on Windows. Of course
we also check AWS on GNU/Linux often (more than once a week).
