Gperf is easy to install, so you could just install a copy of that on
your Cygwin system in a location that is in your path, then run
configure again.

Or, if you don't want to do that, the files generated by gperf are
system independent, so you can copy the src/oct-gperf.h file from
another system where you do have gperf installed.

How did you make the snapshot?  Did you run configure followed by make
dist?
