I'm afraid your description of the cause is somewhat
incorrect:

It is not make that does not handle well the ';' but
rather the command shell you are using.

Did you try a unixy shell port to check this?

The root problem IMHO is that for MingW the only
option is "Unix Makefile" whereas some checks on the
platform's OS could be used to produce Makefiles with
the more amenable syntax you propose.
