Hi,

I got a similar problem today and resolved it in the following way:

kill all CygWin processes

just start ash (it doesn't work with bash / rxvt etc.)

check with ps that ash is the only process running (you should only see ash and ps) 
$ ps
      PID    PPID    PGID     WINPID  TTY  UID    STIME COMMAND
    20764       1   20764      20764  con 41423 15:35:44 /usr/bin/ash
    82492   20764   20764      82548  con 41423 16:34:35 /usr/bin/ps

run rebaseall 
$ rebaseall

now run the normal building steps 
$ perl Makefile.pl
$ make
$ make test
$ make install

and you should be fine
