Looks like you either used a non-Cygwin version of tar to unpack the
source, or you're using an OS/filesystem/setting combo that doesn't
support executable bits on files.  Please follow the Cygwin problem
reporting guidelines at <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>.

If it's the former, unpack the source tarball again using the Cygwin
version of tar, which should set executable permissions properly.  It
could also be that the tarball itself is broken (i.e., RANLIB.csh isn't
executable), in which case a "chmod a+x RANLIB.csh" should do the trick.
HTH,
