Translated here for posterity:
* cygwin has moved to make-3.8.0 whic fails trying to build mozilla. the problem
* is they defaulted the make mode to --win32. Failure is:
*
* unable to find Makefile.in in obj-i586-pc-msvc
*
* which looks like a VPATH failure
This bug report is gobbledegook. No details, poor assumptions.
Sorry. Test case required. Explanation of how make is invoked required.
