This is a strange error.
I have uploaded a new version for win64, that gives a bit more info about make. Please use it and report back.

Personally, I always disable virus-checking fr the install-directory. This also speeds things up !
Thanks, thanks and thanks. Totally AV related. See below:
Machines #1, 3 and 4 are using the same AV software.The AV on machine #1 is using a profile that already excludes certain folders, including the FPCupDeluxe folders
Machine 2 is using a different AV with a less aggressive setting.
The AV on machines 3 and 4, were set with *almost* the same config as machine 1, but for some reason, they only had the stand-alone Lazarus folders exempted. On that profile (which I thought was the same as my primary machine), they weren't setup for the FPCupDeluxe folder.
So, after some undetermined time,
make.exe (and one or two others) would get nabbed.
That kind of issue gets logged, but does not raise an alert. I never even thought to check the central AV console...
But all is working properly now. Sorry for the false alarm.
Machine #2 being different (from an AV perspective) totally clouded the issue for me.
