I tried building V8 under cygwin a couple weeks ago. The g++ compiler ran incredibly slow, and I could not get a real clean build.
I searched about the issue and came up with posts like this: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-developers/2010-10/msg00054.html And ultimately found some official looking bug report (don't have the URL, sorry) saying it wouldn't be fixed.
