I think the error here is an exit code not an errno and it is apparently
coming from the cygserver build step not the install step.

In any event, if the OP is going to be making changes to the source
code, it would certainly behoove them to understand the makefile and to
provide more details than the above when asking for help.  There is a
pitifully small amount of information here for anyone who is expecting
help with a technical concern like this.

In this case the makefile which seems to be having problems is
winsup/cygserver/Makefile.  Looking at that might prove instructive.  If
it is not, then we obviously need more details since no one here is
clairvoyant.
