The VC-WIN64A target generates a Makefile suitable for consumption by 
nmake. Hence its not possible to use GNU make with it.

It *is* possible to build for Windows using GNU make with a different 
target however.

To do this you must first install MSYS2 with the mingw compiler packages 
and associated toolchain, as well as the MSYS2 version of perl (*not* 
other versions of perl).

Then you can configure and build as normal:

perl Configure mingw64
make
make test
make install

See the section "mingw and mingw64" in NOTES.WIN.
