First, thanks to everyone for the help with understanding what the problem was in the first place, i.e. that one of the StreamDevice Makefiles depends on certain shell capabilities. 
I like the fact that I have been able to build EPICS on Windows with the only the dependencies being GnuMake and Perl. So what I have done is to change the StreamDevice Makefile to call two new Perl scripts. My Makefile for the StreamDevice src directory now looks like:
MAKE_STREAM_DBD_CMD = "../makeStreamDbd.pl"
MAKE_STREAM_REFERENCES_CMD = "../makeStreamReferences.pl"
.
.
.
streamReferences: ../CONFIG_STREAM
	@$(MAKE_STREAM_REFERENCES_CMD) $(BUSSES) : $(FORMATS)
# create stream.dbd from all RECORDS

$(COMMON_DIR)/$(LIBRARY_DEFAULT).dbd: ../CONFIG_STREAM
@$(MAKE_STREAM_DBD_CMD) $(COMMON_DIR) $(LIBRARY_DEFAULT) $(RECORDS)
I have attached the the Perl scripts I created.
Feel free to suggest improvements that would make this better conform to the standards of the EPICS build system.

Dear All,
I am trying to build StreamDevice 2-4 on win32-x86
I happen to be using the synApps source and the Makefile is show below
The directories structure is:

support/

asyn

.

.

.

std

stream

Everything works fine until I get to stream at which point I get the cryptic error "r was unexpected at this time." 
details:
make[4]: Entering directory `W:/winDev/epics/R3.14.10/support/stream/2-4/StreamDevice-2-4/src/O.win32-x86'
r was unexpected at this time.

W:/winDev/epics/R3.14.10/support/stream/2-4/StreamDevice-2-4/src/O.win32-x86' looks like
 #This Makefile created by makeMakefile.pl

  all :
	  $(MAKE) -f ../Makefile TOP=../../.. T_A=win32-x86  $@
  .DEFAULT: force
	  $(MAKE) -f ../Makefile TOP=../../.. T_A=win32-x86  $@
 force: ;

Advice anyone?

Thanks,

#NOTES- The "SUPPORT_DIRS" order is based on compile time dependencies.
#     - The user must modify SUPPORT and EPICS_BASE in the
#       <synApps>/support/configure directory for the local configuration.
#     - To support multiple configurations, use multiple configure* directories
#     - Support modules can be shared between configurations only if
#	dependencies are not violated.  Only the "DIRS" are the target of
#	gnumake.  If this configuration is using a support module built by
#	another configuration, then the	SUPPORT_DIRS line for that support
#	module must be commented out (i.e, must begin with a '#').
# Note the only dependencies that matter in $(<module>)_DEPEND_DIRS are
# compile-time dependencies.
