I didn't catch the beginning of this thread... but
I frequently build cvs emacs (once a month) with cygwin and based on
cygwin's x-windows.

I do not have any probllem with ungif.

  * I do specify the following  configure option
       ---with-gif

* Last year's (of so) version of ungif had some problems, be sure to
get the newest with setup.exe

* The newest cygwin gtk windowning is broken somethwere, so I had to use
   ---with-Xaw3d

(gtk people fix that!)

I am frequently building emacs from cvs and have not noticed this
problem, but haven't looked

Perhaps try uninstalling and reinstalling the ungif library.
