Those are supposed to be braces, not parentheses. I.e., use "${sbindir}"
instead of "$(sbindir)". I would also recommend using a font that makes

Is this sentence from the end of /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/openssh.README:
You must have installed the zlib, the openssl-devel and the
minires-devel packages to be able to build OpenSSH!
not enough? Or do you mean stuff like "gcc", "ash", "make", etc?
