nt/INSTALL does not cover the Cygwin build, it only covers the native
Windows builds. For Cygwin, users should read the main INSTALL file,
because Cygwin emulates a Posix platform.
IOW, the above advice in nt/INSTALL advises against using the Cygwin
Make for non-Cygwin builds.

For Cygwin builds, the _only_ Make to use is the Cygwin Make.
