`configure options...` says:
checking for data_start... yes

(There's nothing about data_start in config.log .)

#define HAVE_DATA_START 1

Nothing is returned.  What `make' does then is:
gcc -std=gnu99 -c  -Demacs  -I. -I/Work/emacs/src  -I../lib 
-I/Work/emacs/src/../lib    -I/usr/include/freetype2      -D_REENTRANT 
-I/usr/include/librsvg-2.0 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include 
-I/usr/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0 -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/libpng15 
-I/usr/include/pixman-1 -I/usr/include/freetype2     -I/usr/include/libxml2     
 -I/usr/include/freetype2       -MMD -MF deps/vm-limit.d -MP   
-I/usr/include/p11-kit-1      -g3 -O2 vm-limit.c

Letting `configure' label Cygwin as it doesn't have data_start
might be one solution.

Thanks.
