I don't know if this is the cause of your specific problem, but I
found it necessary to do two extra things before I could build texinfo
successfully:

1. Delete or rename the "makinfo.exe" supplied with cygwin.  This
   is written as a no-op.

2. Replace cygwin's "install.exe" with one that works on *.exe
   files.  I found one at

< ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Humblet_Pierre_A/install-cygwin-b20-sh >

Regards,
David
