How did you change the name?
Why are you using E:\ in cygwin?

cygwin paths don't have back slash in them.

If you are using the cygwin gcc you need to run from a compatible shell
and give it compatible pathnames since a unix/posix compatible gcc
wouldn't know what to do with all those backslashes...

Are you sure you want to compile or run lxml from cygwin?   It doesn't
sound like you are using the cygwin environment, but are using the windows
environment??
