You're not trying to compile a Linux *kernel* under cygwin are you?

Cygwin may be a clever collection of software, but you can't do that with
it!

In any case, a linux kernel is useless without quite a few key
utilities, which are most conveniently obtainable as part of a Linux
distribution (such as Redhat or Debian).  As well as these tools, a
Linux distribution will contain a pre-compiled kernel to get you going
with Linux (which will likely be all you need), and all the tools you
could possibly desire to build your own kernel.
