I'm running into similar issues, not being able to build on bash on Windows for Windows. Initially, there seemed to be filename length issues, so I started using C:\a as the base directory. Even after doing that, I get the following errors:

In the depends folder, the first run of "make HOST=x86_64-w64-mingw32 -j4" ends with:

Code:

Running "make HOST=x86_64-w64-mingw32 -j4" a second time ends with:

Code:

I'm able to build Linux executables just fine using Bash for Windows but, I can't seem to figure out how to build executables that can run on Windows.

I'm not sure what those errors above mean but, I had a lot of trouble running any script until I realized the issue was related to extra CR (or LF) characters added by Windows to all these files that I obtained using Git for Windows. To solve this, I deleted the project and used Git on the Bash environment itself to obtain a fresh copy of the bitcoin 0.13 project.
