I will insert my comments after errors.  I hope this
will help.  You seems to be having make problem.  I
notice make fork errors.  For make fork errors check
with Cygwin mailing list.  They might help you with
problems.

Basically it compiles same way as it does on Linux.
Therefore all the XFree86 at http://www.xfree86.org
are also applicable to Cygwin/Xfree.

Copy xc/include/DPS to xc/exports/include.  I do not
know why makedepend did not make symbolic links to all
the *.h file in usr/include/DPS.  I will check.
After copying issue make command, not make World.

copy sys/ipc.h to sys/cygipc.h
I will upload my IPC libraries which I modified to
work with XFree86.  You could get a copy of it from
"contrib" directory.  Note: ipc library is a DLL in my
distribution, not a static lib.

make.exe on your system is dying.  Chekc with Cygwin
mailing list... better use the latest make from Cygwin
"latest"
