On the failing 8.1.0 choco MinGW install, using make 4.2.1 (from Andrew / old EPICS site) that is known to work with all kinds of compilers (including cygwin on AppVeyor) does not change the failure. (@Andrew: I tested this today in https://ci.appveyor.com/project/ralphlange/epics-base-5e851/builds/24250315)
On my local Windows box the native MinGW-w64/MSYS install with gcc 8.3.0 and make 4.2.1 works fine.
I know. It's not make. (At least not alone.)
