Please read the file nt/INSTALL in its entirety. You will see that it
clearly advises _against_ using the Cygwin Make (which I assumed you
used, since you tried to compile with the Cygwin tools).
I suggest a four-step dance to build the native version of Emacs:
. Start a native Windows Command Prompt window, running cmd.exe, not
Bash.
. Rename or temporarily remove the Cygwin port of Bash.
. Install a native port of GNU Make.
. Repeat the commands mentioned above.
