I suspect something is failing earlier in the build process, and you
are seeing a symptom in your later error message.

Here are the typical problems people encounter:

1.  Forgetting to set the WEBKITOUTPUTDIR environment variable.  This
causes various shell expansions in the driver scripts to fail, as
things that should point to real directories end up resolving to
partial path names.
2.  Using an existing installation of Cygwin.  If you are missing the
tools that ship in the WebKitvariation from the website, things will
not build properly.  I tried this initially, and failed because I was
missing 'gperf', but I found it easier to just ditch the existing
Cygwin install and use the WebKit download.
3.  Using TortoiseSVN or another Windows client that mangles line
endings.  The scripts that run under Cygwin often expect UNIX line
endings.  If your SVN client adds '\r' to the files, you will get all
sorts of problems.

It's hard to say what's really wrong without the correct build log.  I
would look at what WTF and JavaScriptCoreGenerated show to see what
might be going wrong.

But I suspect one of the three items above is your problem.

Good luck!
