Have you used cygwin make to build a CVS emacs?  It's never worked
for me.  OTOH, the make that's in MINGW MSYS works fine.  Cygwin's
make passes cygwin format pathnames to Emacs during the build, and Emacs
doesn't understand those pathnames.

Again, that's not my experience.  I'm afraid I don't remember which
MSYS version I'm using, but the version of make that comes with it is
GNU Make version 3.79.1.

Do you have the bit that maps cygwin filenames in your .emacs?  Can
you do that if you start emacs with emacs -nw?
