I think your PATH might be the problem.  I see several warnings like this in 
cygcheck.out:

   Warning: C:\Windows\system32\bash.exe hides C:\cygwin64\bin\bash.exe

And I also saw this in the configure.log that you sent me privately:

   checking for tar... /cygdrive/c/Windows/system32/tar

You need to be sure you're using Cygwin tools when building on Cygwin.  Note 
that if you had been working in a Cygwin bash shell, /etc/profile would have 
adjusted your profile appropriately.
