Description Henry 2006-03-06 00:30:13 EST 
Been trying unsuccessfully to compile quake3 with MINGW.

Tried using the make.exe from Cygwin --version 3.80. It worked.

Workaround:
cp -fv /c/cygwin/bin/make.exe /mingw/bin/make-cygwin.exe

run make-cygwin.exe
read the warning messages and copy the appropriate dll files into the /mingw/bin/ directory. After copying about 4 or 5 dll files. make-cygwin.exe should work in Mingw. 

Works for me, anyway.

Setting a QA contact on all ioquake3 bugs, even resolved ones. Sorry if you get a flood of email from this, it should only happen once. Apologies for the incovenience.

Don't use or upgrade to make-3.80. Use make 3.79 from the minimal msys installer.
