It looks like the build is proceeding using the correct target, so I'm not sure what's going on.

The only thing I can think of at the moment is:

> $ cd /cygdrive/e
> $ svn checkout --revision 96399 http://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit/trunk WebKit

Is /cygdrive/e your HOME location? I have only really had success building in a subdirectory of the Cygwin 'HOME' directory.

I think you want the "wincairo" flag here as well:

> $ WebKit/Tools/Scripts/set-webkit-configuration --debug --32-bit --wincairo

I'm worried that the build failures are somehow related to the Japanese Windows localization.  Are there any error messages in the earlier sections of the build (e.g., while building WTF/JavaScriptCore)?

This looks exactly right.  I don't understand why this is causing trouble.

Where is your WEBKITLIBRARIESDIR pointed?  Some of the flags that control the build are stored in this directory. If the environment variable points to an 'old' location, it might be causing the build to use the wrong flags.

Thanks,
