If that doesn't help, I suspect that your combination of Cygwin and MinGW tools does not work to build the native port of Emacs (see nt/INSTALL for some combinations that are known to work). E.g., it looks like your Make is a Cygwin port, which is known to fail. It is best to use only MinGW tools for the build.
