I hit this too; forgot to raise the issue here.  What I ended up doing is putting 
the build directory within the root of the git tree.
I used to have:
     /oss/build
     /oss/install
     /oss/src -> /c/staging/newlib-cygwin == the git tree
but now have:
     /oss/build -> /c/staging/newlib-cygwin/build
     /oss/install
     /oss/src -> /c/staging/newlib-cygwin

Then within that new build directory I run /oss/src/configure [blah] then make.
HTH,
