Please, please, please follow the steps on the WebKit site.   It will save us all a lot of time!

I'm guessing that you have one of the following problems:

1.  You did not use the WebKit installer for the Cygwin toolset, and are therefore missing gperf or another utility.
2.  You have ActiveState Perl in your path somewhere, and it is getting picked up by Cygwin when attempting to run the build scripts.

You might need to delete your WebKitBuild directory to make sure everything is regenerated properly.
