Also, the way the build process reacted on the update of the Latex l3kernel package makes me believe that - on my system - the Windows-based Latex distribution is used, not one that comes with Cygwin. So I need to install the missing fonts in that distribution or see that CMake finds the Cygwin-based Latex tools.
My advice is to stick strictly with Cygwin since Phil has demonstrated it has everything you need (so long as you do the fonts workaround). Otherwise, you are going to need to do some fixups of your non-Cygwin distribution of TeX, and there will always be a question when you run into trouble about whether something non-standard in that distribution is the source of the trouble. > Hm, some further investigation leads to xelatex as the culprit - that is coming from the Miktex installation (my Windows version of Latex). But there is no xelatex in my Cygwin installation (Cygwin: setup version 2.844, 64-bits, installed 29 april 2014). So I guess this is where I do have to get these extra fonts for Miktex. I wouldn't bother trying to fixup Miktex. Instead, my advice is to use the search engine at <http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi> to find the Cygwin packages that you need. I searched there for "bin/xelatex" and came up with two hits (the 2013 and 2014 versions of texlive-collection-xetex). So either you don't have all Cygwin packages installed that are mentioned in the list in doc/docbook/README.developers or else that list does not include a package that depends on texlive-collection-xetex so that package needs to be added to that list.
