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?
