No, you provided a rule whose commands were actually a single shell
command.

Sorry, no.  Perhaps Greg has more free time than I do.

Well, if you plan to abandon the native Windows build and instead opt
for the cross-compilation solution, please tell that, so I won't spend
any more time on trying to solve this riddle.  I simply cannot afford
trying to untangle a problem with a development environment I don't
have installed, without your full commitment to supply information and
try out possible solutions.  All I can tell you is that, using native
Windows ports and programs, the MinGW build of Make does stop after
the first error (unless the Makefile or the -k switch tell it to
ignore errors).  It is possible that some specific situation triggers
a bug, but it's impossible to debug that without a clear and concise
test case.
