Failure to compile on Windows Server 2008 with Cygwin

[Shadowssong]

Hi! Firstly, thanks for the gem, it work's great on linux. Unfortunately we also need it to work in Windows but we are running into some problems. We are using Cygwin on Windows Server 2008 with the following packages installed:

make/gcc/git/tar/libcrypt/patch/automake/gcc-g++/ruby1.9.3

When we just do a system gem install the following happens:

$ gem install zookeeper
Fetching: zookeeper-1.4.6.gem (100%)
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing zookeeper:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Unfortunately the mkmf.log is also missing. My colleagues and I narrowed this specific problem down to the config.guess that is inside of the zkc.tar.gz is out of date (from 2005). The way to manually modify this was to edit the config.guess to have the following entry (instead of x86_64-unknown-cygwin):

amd64:CYGWIN*:*:* | x86_64:CYGWIN*:*:*)
    echo x86_64-pc-cygwin

Once we figured this out (as well as figured out what specific dependencies and libraries we needed to install on cygwin) we eventually hit a brick wall with the actual make command. More specifically (and sorry for long stack trace):

Really not sure why this is failing. Any insight on this issue would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
