I like the direction of this change, but I think that you must use ':=' assignment, and I would put this right after the uname_* assignments at the beginning of the Makefile:

 uname_V := $(shell sh -c 'uname -v 2>/dev/null || echo not')
+ifdef MSVC
+	uname_S := Windows
+	uname_O := Windows	# avoid cygwin configuration
+endif
