cygwin emacs build fails - [bootstrap-emacs.exe] Error 57

[Terrence Brannon]

I tried to build emacs 23 on Cygwin via:

./configure --with-gif=no --with-tiff=no && make

but here is what happened:

What is "Error 57" in Cygwin?  (The first place to look is in the
errno.h system header.)

In any case, failures to build should be reported to
emacs-devel@gnu.org or with "M-x report-emacs-bug RET".  Here is not
the best place to do that.
