You *really* do not want to do that.

It's going to take a lot longer than that (hours) to build all the
source you've checked out.

You aren't even building any part of Cygwin here, you're building
binutils, a totally separate project. You're also going to be building
gdb, insight, tcl, tk, possibly a simulator of some kind, and god knows
what else, before even getting to newlib and then winsup, because that
is how a combined tree works. I really doubt you want to do all this.
To fix the error, install the missing libraries. Though it indicates
some kind of configury error that it would try to link against -liconv
if required libs are missing.
