I just attempted to build GNU Emacs on Windows Vista with Cygwin
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.0 balrog 1.7.9(0.237/5/3) 2011-03-29 10:10 i686 Cygwin
I get the following error after running ./configure
---
creating src/epaths.h
Makefile:860: target `TAGS' given more than once in the same rule.
make: *** No rule to make target `/home/vijay/c/code/emacs/configure.in',

I've attached the entire output of .configure below
This is Makefile:860
858 # The src subdir knows how to do the right thing
859 # even when the build directory and source dir are different.
860 TAGS tags: lib lib-src src
861 cd src; $(MAKE) $(MFLAGS) tags
All the build tools are the ones provided by cygwin.
I'm using emacs cloned from git://git.savannah.gnu.org/emacs.git
And this is the last commit
