Compiling cygwin's setup.exe is failing

["Smith, Stephen P (AZ75)" <smith_stephen at htc dot honeywell dot com>]

I want to compile the setup.exe program that is used to install cygwin.

Since I have a current version of cygwin installed(as of what was available
yesterday), I followed Delorie's suggestion in an earlier post and got the
source from CVS
   export CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.cygnus.com:/cvs/src
   cvs login ( password is anoncvs)
   cvs checkout winsup

The post indicates that you need to do a full build before you can compile
setup, I tried that

../src/configure --prefix=/htc/Deos/cygwinInstaller/install 2>&1 | tee
configure.log
make 2>&1 | tee make.log

I am getting an error shown below.  Does anyone have experience building
setup.exe from source?
