Translated here for posterity:

* cygwin has moved to make-3.8.0 whic fails trying to build mozilla. the problem
* is they defaulted the make mode to --win32. Failure is:
* 
* unable to find Makefile.in in obj-i586-pc-msvc
* 
* which looks like a VPATH failure

This bug report is gobbledegook.  No details, poor assumptions.

Sorry.  Test case required.  Explanation of how make is invoked required.
