I should read better.  I see so many "how to build Cygwin" questions I read 
yours as another one.  You're doing something different.  Here's what works:

     cd /opt    (for example)
     mkdir build install
     ln -s your-source-directory src

     cd build   (so you're in /opt/build)
     /opt/src/configure --prefix=/opt/install -v
     mkdir newlib

     cd newlib  (so you're in /opt/build/newlib)
     /opt/src/newlib/configure --prefix=/opt/install/newlib -v
     make

That will create libm.a, libg.a, and libc.a in /opt/build/newlib.
