  I don't think it has to do with spaces in the path name.  I'm getting the same
error and I've build Octave in a directory tree with no spaces in its name.
  Any ideas?  I am also using Cygwin.  Unfortunately, README.Cygwin does not
have instructions on building.  It pretty much says use the Cygwin package. 
However, the Cygwin package is still 2.1.x.
