set MAKE_MODE, actually, ironically as you seem to have the converse
problem later.

How did you unpack the sources?  It looks as if however you did that
converted them to short file names (a common Windows trick). I see you have
MAN and SRC and you should have man and src, for example.  So I bet you
have *.C and *.F.

As you also seem to have README~1.AVA I guess you have used a 16-bit
windows program or have a FAT (not VFAT) file system ....  Whatever,
the problem is the something you did has corrupted the sources.
The tar in the cygwin tools is known to work with acepack_1.2-1.tar.gz.
