This isn't really Cygwin-specific -- you'd have the same problem with ant
and bash on Linux. Don't use "arg line", use something like
<exec dir="." executable="C:\Program Files\cygwin\bin\bash">
<arg value="--login"/>
<arg value="-i"/>
<arg value="-c"/>
<arg value="cd
/cygdrive/c/someFolderToBeTheCurrentDir/; make"/>
</exec>
HTH,
