If you plan to use MSYS, then no, there should *not* be; it should be
called mingw32-make.exe, if you've installed it according to our
standard, although it is acceptable to shorten it to gmake.exe if you
prefer shorter command names.
When you install MSYS, *it* provides its own make.exe, in its own /bin
directory. MinGW must *not* be installed into the same directory as
MSYS, (unless you are trialling the technology preview of MSYS-1.0.11);
however, it is acceptable to install MinGW into a /mingw subdirectory of
the MSYS tree, which is what the OP appeared to have, so that would not
have been his problem.

Nor should there be; MinGW's bin directory should come *before* the
MSYS /bin directory, in the $PATH set for the MSYS shell, but you want
to be able to run the MSYS make.exe in that environment; thus you
*must* use a different name for MinGW's make.

but it is packaged separately, and is an optional install; perhaps the
OP neglected to install it.

MinGW's bin directory, yes; *not* in the MSYS /bin directory.

That is certainly the default, and we *strongly* recommend keeping it
that way, unless you *really* know what you are doing; (and those who
think it might be a good idea to tuck it into `Program Files' do *not*
have the necessary expertise).

The OP's installation looked fine to me, except that it was missing
mingw32-make.
