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.

Good luck
