That's not what I meant.  I mean that /cygdrive/c/ming/bin/strip.exe doesn't understand the path given it.  It can't find the
file /usr/local/bin/ivl.exe because c:/usr/local/bin/ivl.exe doesn't exist in the win32 world.  You can't mix Cygwin and
Non-Cygwin programs due to the Non-Cygwin programs not understanding the Cygwin pathing mechanisms.  Please search the mail
list at Cygwin.com for more information.

I doubt this will work either but you could try with make -win32; see the documentation at Cygwin.com.
