It sees something that looks like Windows and it's heading toward msvs (Microsoft Visual Studio), a Windows program, not a cygwin program. I tried configure --dest-os=linux, and that mostly worked, but assumes ELF binaries are being used, but cygwin uses PE, not ELF (so that Windows can run the binaries linked with the cygwin library / runtime). So the openssl assembly files failed. Using configure --dest-os=linux --openssl-no-asm got past that problem but fails when trying to find /usr/include/sys/syscall.h, someting not provided under cygwin. I also tried not giving --dest-os (and it then wants to do the msvs stuff, i.e., it treats it as Windows) and --dest-os=posix (which is what uname -a reports under modern cygwin) to no avail. So IMO node's configure needs to be adjusted, but how to do that correctly is beyond my knowledge or the time I can invest.
