Sorry, I'm no configure expert. I don't know why yours is
going this route in configure. I don't see this myself.
You can try adding the '-C' flag after './configure' to see
if this helps. You may also want to attach the output of
cygcheck -srv. This is basic info but perhaps there's
something basic wrong. ;-)
