It would help if you included the complete output from "make", rather
than eliding it, because I can't see exactly what has happened.

Given that you are using Cygwin, and the fact that it happens on
several different kinds of files, I might hazard a guess that you may
have DOS/Unix carriage-return/line-feed problem.  When you got the
original tar.gz file did you use Cygwin's tar to decompress or use one
of the Windoze tools?

I recommend using "tar zxvf" in a Cygwin terminal.  Cygwin can deal
with Unix files directly, but if you've decompressed as a Windows
file, it may be trying to read the file as a Unix file when in fact,
it's a Windows file.
