Yep -- I had the same problem last night after I upgraded my cygwin and
got some new versions of autotools...

My best guess is that in the .deps/*.po files you have a file that has
"C:\" in the filename.  That extra ":" makes "make" unhappy.  I'mn not
sure of the "autotools" way to fix it, but I was able to get thing to
compile by just removing/replacing the offending "c:" with something
more reasonable (like nothing!)

I filed a ticket on "buildtools" last night, as this will also happen
with Cbc or other Coin things one tries top build on cygwin.

Hope this helps.  I am sure Andreas has a better answer...

Cheers,
-Jeff
