Probably here it's perl that can't be found; the fisrt line should read
'#!/absolute/cygwin/path/to/perl'

Two possible reasons here:

First it should be "./make-version-info.pl" (your pwd says that current
directory is /cygdrive/m)

Second if your perl is a Win32-native perl it could not understand cygwin
paths, so you can also use

perl `cygpath -w /cygdrive/m/make-version-info.pl`
