    If someone tells what does the Cygwin Make print under --version, and
    if there's something Cygwin-specific there, then yes, we could test
    that in nt/configure.bat.

    Failing that, w32proc.c:w32_executable_type has code to detect Cygwin
    executables by scanning their DLL import table for cygwin.dll.  We
    could start the build by compiling a simple program to diagnose
    make.exe using that method.  Seems a bit gross, though.

I don't know if this is related, but here is the contents of config.log
when I did,

cmd /c configure.bat --without-png --without-jpeg --without-tiff
--without-gif --cflags -IC:\libXpm-3.5.8\src

gcc -c junk.c 
junk.c:1:29: error: cygwin/version.h: No such file or directory
The failed program was: 
#include "cygwin/version.h" 
main(){} 
gcc  -c junk.c 
gcc -c -O2 -mtune=pentium4 junk.c 
GCC supports -mtune=pentium4 
gcc -c -gdwarf-2 -g3 junk.c 
GCC supports DWARF-2 
Emacs successfully configured. 

'Cept, still no support for the tool-bar icons.

I sure would appreciate any feedback about the configure syntax above.
