He only recommends smake because he wrote smake :-). Either build tool 
is going to call the same configure script, which is what is hanging for 
you. I just downloaded the distribution, untarred it, and typed "make", 
and it works fine for me. You might need to re-post more information, 
such as the output of 'cygcheck -svr', for people to help you out. I 
think usually the problem is a virus checker / firewall / etc that you 
have running in the background, but that's just a guess.
