Ah. I guess that would be the wrong part :-) I don't ever build inside the source tree. I don't install the source, I just download it, and I manually extract to srcdir=/cygdrive/d/compile-dir and then cd /cygdrive/d/compile-dir mkdir build ../configure make I just assumed (and I know what that does, sorry) that people would use the /usr/src default location where the source was installed, and not be silly like me and create their own separate directory for compilation.
