Really?  That's strange.  Jobserver needs very basic Posix features,
which AFAIK Cygwin supports for a long time: signals and pipes.  Are
you sure you are using a sufficiently new Cygwin port of Make?  What
does "make --version" say?

If all else fails, try asking on the Cygwin mailing list.  If they
tell you jobserver isn't supported, then it really isn't.  But I'd be
surprised.
