OK, my guess was wrong.

I downloaded and built the package on my system without a problem, so something 
specific to your setup is causing this.  Do you see anything suspicious earlier 
in the build?  You might try capturing a log of the build and sending it as an 
attachment to see if anyone here spots anything.  Also, please follow the 
problem-reporting guide at https://cygwin.com/problems.html, including the part 
about sending cygcheck output (as an attachment).
