Some versions of make look for the sh shell, others use the dos shell.
Probably, make is using the dos shell and not sh.  As far as I know, make
does not parse the parens, the shell does.  And dos does not understand the
parens.

My cygwin make looks at the "MAKE_MODE" environment to determine which
shell to use.  Assuming you are running everything using the cygwin bash,
try:

setenv MAKE_MODE UNIX; export MAKE_MODE

then run make.

Alternatively, try make --unix.
