If you are building the pretest, you don't need to bootstrap, just
type "make" after the configure step.

If that doesn't help, I suspect that your combination of Cygwin and
MinGW tools does not work to build the native port of Emacs (see
nt/INSTALL for some combinations that are known to work).  E.g., it
looks like your Make is a Cygwin port, which is known to fail.  It is
best to use only MinGW tools for the build.
