Unless Code::Blocks has a specially patched GNU make which is hardcoded 
to cmd.exe there shouldn't be any difficulty to get your make to use 
sh.exe (Cygwin's, for example).

In fact, I've had trouble the other way around; forcing GNU make to use 
cmd.exe in the presence of Cygwin's sh.exe in PATH.

That is only a problem if you have cmd.exe-specific stuff in your 
makefile-invocations.
