Okay, sorry, "winsup" is the right name of the module, not cygwin.  But
checking out the module "winsup" should have gotten you the toplevel,
etc/, include/, libiberty/, newlib/, and winsup/:

winsup          -a src-support naked-winsup naked-libiberty naked-newlib
naked-include

http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/CVSROOT/modules?rev=1.70&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=src

If you did "cvs co winsup" and only got a winsup directory and not all
those others, then something is wrong with your cvs client
configuration. 

And again, just to make sure: you are running the toplevel
configure/make, right?

That would be extreme overkill, as src is home to a large number of
projects, of which cygwin is just a small subset.  The modules file
above shows how the various subdirectories are parts of various
projects.
