in reply to ./win32/Makefile VC only?

Yes. MinGW uses the makefile.mk (which is to be found in the same folder), and Cygwin uses configure (which writes the makefile for Cygwin to use).

Documentation regarding these different windows builds can be found in README.win32 and README.cygwin - both of which are located in the top level perl source folder.

Cheers,
Rob
