Hi Pascal,
I suggest you to not build the documention

so configure with "--disable-docs"

There are at least two cygwin issues that make building the
doc very tricky:

  http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-10/msg00456.html
and
  http://cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.using.fixing-fork-failures

they are cygwin specific pains and no simple workaround

Marco
