The GnuWin32 port of Make [1] is version 3.81. I've used it when I needed GNU Make on Windows. I know there are other ways to get newer versions of Make on Windows, but the GnuWin32 port is simple, standalone, and it still works despite its age...

Curious; is there some reason that they're using that version of make?

It appears the project was abandoned (last release in 2006). Sensible enough, I wouldn't expect newer software to exist in a 2006 release.

I assume GP knows about Cygwin and elects not to use it.

There's also Mingw and MSYS versions of GNU Make, if you don't like Cygwin for some particular reason.
