This is a somewhat inaccurate and misleading response.  They're not trying 
to build a "native Windows version of Sage" if they're running make in a 
Cygwin terminal.  The only problem is trying to somehow include Anaconda's 
Python in the mix, which definitely doesn't make sense.  Sage's build 
process needs some pre-existing Python to bootstrap the build--while it 
might sort of work to use Python from Anaconda for that, there's no 
advantage to that over using the Cygwin Python.  Sage then builds its own 
Python interpreter which is the only one that should be used by Sage.

The most up-to-date instructions for building Sage on Cygwin (note: it must 
be the 64-bit Cygwin; Sage will not work on 32-bit Cygwin) are 
at: https://trac.sagemath.org/wiki/Cygwin64Port

Best,
