I believe that is a harmless warning.

This too.

Visual Studio unfortunately generates a lot of noise during the build  
process that look suspiciously like real warnings, but are relatively  
harmless.  We should call this out in the instructions for building  
WebKit on Windows, as many people seem to get hung up on this point.

Why is \cygwin\usr\include in Visual C++'s include path?  This is  
almost certainly the reason why you're having problems building, as it  
looks to be responsible for all of the errors that you included.
