That doesn't look like anything you'd want to do on Cygwin.

The problem is most likely that the configury tries to treat Cygwin as
some sort of MS Windows and/or MSys, based on an incomplete evaluation
of the system properties.  If you really want to compile for Cygwin,
you'll need to check each decision in the configury for not entering
into Windows-specific branches.
