Does this happen with every parallel make, or is it one specific program that 
you're building?  If the latter, can you give a detailed recipe so that others 
can try to reproduce the problem?

Have you tried reverting to cygwin-3.0.7-1?

The only thing that jumps out at me from your cygcheck output is that your PATH 
is very long.  I don't know if that's relevant, but you might try cutting it 
down before running make.
