I second Eli's comment.  I successfully build emacs from cvs source code on 
February 21st, using cygwin's native environment.  In fact I am using it now to 
compose this letter.

M-X version <RET>
  ==> GNU Emacs 22.0.93.1 (i686-pc-cygwin, X toolkit) of 2007-02-21

I haven't tried with cygwins GTK for a long time as it was broken at one point.
I don't know about now.   

Please give your (1) configuration options and the Make output that Eli 
requested.

Tomorrow I plan to try an making an emacs source tarball and see how it goes.
