build fail with Cygwin

[Guy Bonneau]

I am trying to build OpenJDK 8 under Windows 7 with Cygwin 2.8.0 and ran
into many issues that I was able to successfully fix until the last one
which leave me baffled. The configure command I use is:

 

bash ./configure --with-freetype=/cygdrive/c/Projects/freetype-2.7
--with-target-bits=64 --enable-debug --disable-ccache

 

Note that I had to apply this JDK 9 patch to be able to build the OpenJDK
with Cygwin 2.8.0:

 

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/dev/rev/f67da475256b

 

The build fails with:

How can I fix this issue?
