Ah, that's the source of some of my confusion.  Thanks.

Good point.  I think I'm starting to understand. :-)
Though DQUOTE in SH mode seems to depend on NEW_CYGWIN, so I'll keep  
that...
Then, I think this should do it... does it look right to you?

$(SRC)/buildobj.h: make-buildobj-$(SHELLTYPE)
make-buildobj-CMD: Makefile
        echo #define BUILDOBJ "\  > $(SRC)/buildobj.h
        echo $(OBJ0)           \ >> $(SRC)/buildobj.h
        echo $(OBJ1)           \ >> $(SRC)/buildobj.h
        echo $(WIN32OBJ)       \ >> $(SRC)/buildobj.h
        echo $(FONTOBJ)        \ >> $(SRC)/buildobj.h
        echo "                   >> $(SRC)/buildobj.h
make-buildobj-SH: Makefile
        echo '#define BUILDOBJ $(DQUOTE)\\'  > $(SRC)/buildobj.h
        echo $(OBJ0)                   '\\' >> $(SRC)/buildobj.h
        echo $(OBJ1)                   '\\' >> $(SRC)/buildobj.h
        echo $(WIN32OBJ)               '\\' >> $(SRC)/buildobj.h
        echo $(FONTOBJ)                '\\' >> $(SRC)/buildobj.h
        echo '$(DQUOTE)'                    >> $(SRC)/buildobj.h
