My guess is that you're having line ending issues. Two possible causes 
of this:

1) You used a non-Cygwin version of Subversion (e.g., TortoiseSVN) to 
checkout the WebKit source code
2) You used the Cygwin version of Subversion to checkout the WebKit 
source code, but have Cygwin configured to use Windows-style line endings
