Hi,

> c:\cygwin\home\admin\webkit\javascriptcore\runtime\JSObject.h : warning
> C4819: The file contains a character that cannot be represented in the

Those warnings are the root of your issue (WebKit treats warnings as
errors on Windows). There must be some characters that your compiler
does not like in JSObject.h so check your file for such characters
(unicode, non printing ascii characters, ...). If you cannot find such
characters, just remove your sources and start again from a clean
checkout.
If that does not help (Google tells that there is a potential bug
associated to this warning - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/955514),
you could try disabling the warning for this file.

Regards,
Julien
