Thanks for the reply.
Apparently there is a "problem" under CYGWIN trying to log in as 'root' or trying to chown a file to root. Even creating a WinXP user account 'root' does not solve the problem. To get around this, I editted out the section in src/conf/config.c that did the file attribute check and it finally executed!!
