The msys make program sometimes crashes and core-dumps (usually while
installing software). If this happens, repeat the make command a few
times until it works ... the crash in make is not reliably repeatable
(which is probably why it has not been tracked down and fixed yet),
which means that a retry will usually work.
NB. I have not experienced this crash with the MSYS version listed above,
so it may have been fixed.
