Well, just to state the obvious, /you/ would be the most ideally-placed person to do so.
I don't even have Vista, so I'm kinda ruled out there, but I'd take a look at the perms and ACLs of conftest.dir and the existing depcomp file in there, using both 'getfacl' to show cygwin's view of the posix-style perms, and 'cacls' to compare with windoze's opinion.
BTW, you didn't by any chance use winzip to unpack the tarball did you?
Apart from that, the file permission settings are the same in Vista compared to older OSes. The exception is the UAC stuff which could result in some executables having less permissions than usual, if, for instance, Internet Explorer has been used to download the executable. We can hopefully rule this out here, so it's just some permission problem which has nothing to do with the base OS.
Works fine on XP. The only things that are diferent are the Cygwin instillation and Vista.
Note: Not all problems on Vista are Vista's (or, FWIW, Cygwin's) fault. See, for example http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PEBCAK for one possible explanation of the problem.
