Issues building graal-jvmci-8 with Cygwin

[Gilles Duboscq]

Hi Jean-Philippe,

Despite some hints here and there, cygwin is not a supported environment.

There are some remains of supporting cygwin as a hybrid build environment targeting *windows*. However if you are building for windows, i think you have better chances using the native windows environment.
To start with, try running mx on the native windows version of python.
