Comment:
I suspect that the issue is not so much that msys-make doesn't support the
define directive — that's been supported by every version of gnu-make which I
recall using, over the past twenty years or so — but rather that your example
usage requires support for the (redundant) = operator following the defined
variable name; that syntax was introduced by gnu-make version 4.x, and isn't
supported by earlier versions.
Notwithstanding that you may be able to work around this, in your particular
usage case, by simply removing that redundant operator, an updated release
would certainly be welcome. However, I will leave it to Cesar to set an
appropriate update schedule.

Ticket details:
This is a proposal to update the version of make provided in the msys-make
package to a version that supports multiline define syntax:
https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Multi_002dLine.html
It will facilitate the building of projects that rely on that feature of make,
and generally on any feature introduced since make 3.81,which was released in
2006.
In this particular case, the request was prompted by the inability to build
