From a fresh check-out of trunk , could you run:
./configure --local
make install
./ct-ng V=1 menuconfig

...and send (in private) the output, please?

You have two places were you can find a log:
- the crosstool-NG build.log, in the toolchain installation directory
- the package's config.log, in the package's build directory (that's
  usually located in targets/foo-bar-buz-doo/build/build-package).

You can look in there what went wrong, and maybe deduce a fix (or
at least a workaround). Googling for "building duma cygwin) turned
up (ranked sixth):  http://duma.sourceforge.net/INSTALL ( which
should have been obvious! Hehe! :-) )

Care to look at that, please?

So, apart from these two glitches, you are saying that you managed to
build a working toolchain on cygwin? Great!
