The build instructions in the FAQ kind of worked. I think the list of prerequisite packages could be a bit more clear. https://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#faq.programming.building-cygwin The FAQ forgot to mention that `patch` is required. `cocom` is also required for the `shilka` command, but the wording made me think it wasn't required (I don't think I've changed the Cygwin TLS). Also, make didn't say it ignored any errors when it tried to make the documentation, so I installed those packages too, and it's still missing some LaTeX package. Luckily, `make install` worked "fine" after the failed `make`. TL;DR I tried only installing the bare minimum of packages for building Cygwin but had to install all of them just to be sure. I don't think the patch I tried would have affected the TLS area: https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2021-December/250118.html
