Too bad, it is the most general solution, but I guess it is too cygwin
version specific.
Anyway, what I suggested is for a regular build only, for a bootstrap
one has to add lisp=c:/dev/emacs-src/emacs/lisp to the make command.
I think it is something worth adding to nt/INSTALL, it is a better
advice than "dont use cygwin make". After all, Stefans patch only
handles the case where the cygwin prefix is just /cygdrive, which it
isn't for me, but I've changed it to that for the test. I also have c:
and d: mounted on /c and /d respectively (I don't know how common that
is, but the cygwin documentation suggests it), so I don't use the cygwin
prefix paths, but for this test I did.

Stefans patch has a syntax error (one parentesis too many in
w32-cygdrive-run-real-handler), but apart from that, it fails with:
"./../bin/emacs.exe" -batch --no-init-file --no-site-file --multibyte -l

That lisp section is a bit over my head, so I did not find an apparent fix.
