This is not reproducible here. Have a look at the following transcript:

T:\>type Makefile
all:
        echo 1
        pause
        echo 2
        pause
        echo 3

T:\>gmake --version

As you can see, output arrives as scheduled. Whatever problem you're 
dealing with, it's not part of the semantics of GNU (or any other) make. 
There really is no magic in make, at least not at the command-execution 
end: what you get from make is exactly what you would have gotten from running:

        cmd /c "command line"

at a shell prompt. Also, try to provide further results in a cut-and-pasted 
form as above - a transcript is worth 1000 words.
