I reported the same thing to xemacs-nt for 21.2b32 - see the thread here:

  http://www.xemacs.org/list-archives/xemacs-nt/200004/msg00006.html

however, this msg:

  http://www.xemacs.org/list-archives/xemacs-nt/200004/msg00086.html

appears to indicate that he did successfully build with cygwin 1.1
