Seems to be a problem with your Cygwin installation (the file that generates the error is part of Cygwin, not part of V8). Sorry, but you're on your own on this, as building on Cygwin is not officially supported.
The officially supported compiler is Visual Studio. You don't need to use it for editing, as long as you have it installed so you can use its bundled compiler (which you can probably even configure to use from within Eclipse).
