The FAQ makes it pretty clear that "You must build cygwin in a separate
directory from the source".  You shouldn't be running configure in a
source directory.

I've modified the FAQ source to say: 'To check a cygwin1.dll, run "make
check" in the build/i?86*cygwin/winsup directory created after running
make above.'  That is what you need to do.
