Compiling cygwin's setup.exe is failing

[Smith, Stephen P (AZ75)]

Thanks, I was able to make some intelligent guesses from another site.  On
the
contrary to Delorie's May post, you don't have to build winsup first.  Here
is 
a working recipe:

1) Get winsup from CVS
   export CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.cygnus.com:/cvs/src
   cvs login ( password is anoncvs)
   cvs checkout winsup

2) Compile bz2 library
   cd src/winsup/bz2lib
   MINGW32=yes CFLAGS='-mno-cygwin' ./configure
   make

3) Compile the w32api library
   cd ../w32api
   MINGW32=yes CFLAGS='-mno-cygwin' ./configure
   make

4) Compile the installer (setup.exe)
   cd ../cinstall
   MINGW32=yes CFLAGS='-mno-cygwin' ./configure
   make

I want to compile the setup.exe program that is used to install cygwin.

Since I have a current version of cygwin installed(as of what was available
yesterday), I followed Delorie's suggestion in an earlier post and got the
source from CVS
   export CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.cygnus.com:/cvs/src
   cvs login ( password is anoncvs)
   cvs checkout winsup

The post indicates that you need to do a full build before you can compile
setup, I tried that

../src/configure --prefix=/htc/Deos/cygwinInstaller/install 2>&1 | tee
configure.log
make 2>&1 | tee make.log

I am getting an error shown below.  Does anyone have experience building
setup.exe from source?
