Using Cygwin?

I don't think that's for Cygwin.

I do not believe that GNU Emacs is ported to Cygwin.  However, I know
that some Emacs-21 pre-releases were built using mingw.  I don't know
whether you can (still?) build Emacs-21 "out of the box" with mingw.
Definitely not with Cygwin.

Hope this helps.
