You are getting bitten by the Windows/Mac world's permissive
attitiude towards the use of whitespace in file and directory names,
versus the Unix (and therefore cygwin, I guess) desire to use all
whitespace as a separator between tokens on the command line.
cygwin is not regarding "Documents and Settings" as the name of a
directory or folder. Instead, it sees the space after the word "Documents"
and decides that that is the end of the command line being passed to make,
or link or whatever.
You need to enclose "Documents and Settings" in enough double
quotes, single quotes, escaped double quotes, escaped single quotes, or
who knows what-all else, wherever it appears in your config scripts, so
that it's enclosed in quotes (probly single quotes) when finally passed to
the link command.
