That's a configure problem. You should examine the configure script
what it is looking for when it's failing. If it is looking for a
Linux-like /etc/sysconfig directory, you're out of luck. Cygwin
doesn't provide that. You will have to rewrite the package somewhat
to get it working.

Why did you do it in a non-supported way? Use setup.exe to install
Cygwin.
The below registry keys seem to be from an old Cygwin version, otherwise
I don't understand why you still have mount points for tape and floppy
devices. See http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html#AEN755
Btw., don't send registry keys, send cygcheck output as described on
http://cygwin.com/problems.html.
