This is not right.  The Firefox configure file ends up hardcoding
cl if it detects a windows platform.  You have to export CC/CXX/CPP
variables to override cl.

See http://citations.mozdev.org/mozilla-build-win32.html

Cygwin-X is not a supported build target.

Gerrit Haase was working on supporting Firefox on Cygwin-X.  See
