This is the Cygwin make problem that is mentioned in nt/INSTALL, and
was discussed last week. Please try the patch Stefan posted in the
thread "autoload failure" (I don't seem to have the message anymore,
but you should be able to find it in the archive on lists.gnu.org). We
are still waiting for someone to report whether it works or not on
Cygwin.
