Having trouble building cygwin1.dll from source

[Ray Bryant <raybry at timesn dot com>]

I downloaded cygwin-1.1.8-2-src.tar.gz, untar'd it, ran configure in the top
level directory, then typed "make all".  After populating the i686-pc-cygwin
directories and the like, that make failed with "no rule to make "all" in
i686_pc_cygwin/winsup/cygwin.  Turns out that there was no Makefile there;
fixed that by running configure in $TOP/winsup/cygwin and symbolically
linking the resulting makefile down to i686-pc-cygwin/winsup/cygwin.  On the
next "make all", the build failed with a missing libc.a and libm.a in
newlib.  But it did make a libcygwin.a and since these other files are
symbolic links to libcygwin.a I placed symbolic links in the appropriate
places in newlib and tried again.  

I am now getting the following output, which has me completely stumped
(sorry about the ugly line splits):

Any suggestions on how to fix this?  Thanks.
