I have seen this kind of problem before.  I seem to remember it
is caused by using the gmake.exe from the Netscape wintools
with Cygwin's sh.exe.  If so, the fix is to use Cygwin's make.exe
instead.  Again, you may need to adjust your PATH environment
variable so that "make.exe" is Cygwin's make.exe.

This is why I now recommend MozillaBuild -- it takes care of
everything for you.  You don't need to install Cygwin or
Netscape wintools, and you don't need to worry about the
PATH environment variable.
