I tried it already and it gives the same error.
What I really do not understand is why does the very same command run in 
the cygwin shell without returning an error.

If I write a dummy makefile like:
"""
xapian.pyc: xapian.py
    /cygdrive/d/Python23/python -c "print 'test'"
"""
I get exactly the same error, while calling:
"""
/cygdrive/d/Python23/python -c "print 'test'"
"""
in the cygwin shell outputs "test" correctly.

Could it be related to make ?
