It's not that easy.  I don't think there is an option u set anywhere.
Somehow, the 'unicode' parameter is being interpreted as an option 
switch, I think. When I run make with the gnu make v3.78 that is 
recommended on the Ada XML site, I get:

make -e -C unicode all_obj
make[1]: Entering directory `L:/Ada/xmlada/unicode'
A subdirectory or file -p already exists.
Error occurred while processing: -p.
A subdirectory or file obj already exists.
Error occurred while processing: obj.
make[1]: [dirs] Error 1 (ignored)
A subdirectory or file -p already exists.
Error occurred while processing: -p.
A subdirectory or file test already exists.
Error occurred while processing: test.
make[1]: [dirs] Error 1 (ignored)
The system cannot find the path specified.
make[1]: *** [unicode-ccs-iso_8859_1.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `L:/Ada/xmlada/unicode'
make: *** [unicode] Error 2

I run make with the gnu make v3.77 that was previously in my gnat\bin
directory, I get:

make -e -C unicode all_obj
make[1]: Entering directory `L:/Ada/xmlada/unicode'
gnatmake: invalid switch: u
make[1]: *** [unicode-ccs-iso_8859_1.o] Error 4
make[1]: Leaving directory `L:/Ada/xmlada/unicode'
make: *** [unicode] Error 2


This happens whether I run make from the regular Windows NT cmd prompt
or from inside of the Cygwin bash shell.  I have run the configure 
script from within bash, and it didn't crash that I could tell, but
I don't know much about what it should have looked like.
