This looks as if GNU Emacs wasn't built completely yet, as if make is  
still byte-compiling ELisp files. You can compile a new Emacs inside  
an old Emacs. The *compilation* buffer will signal in its mode-line  
whether compilation has finished or it's still continuing.

A 'make bootstrap' on my Mac with GNU Emacs 23 can take *hours*  
(PowerPC with 1 GHz, mediocre disk)! And during this time the CPU  
works at around 100 % of its power. With multi-core CPUs you can  
invoke 'make -j' to try to make use of all cores. (Add '-l <float>'  
to limit load to 3.75 or whatever is appropriate. In summer.)


BTW, I never compiled GNU Emacs in MS Windows or in Cygwin.
