You must configure the build tree, yes.
What I suggest you _try_ (and I haven't tested this) is (assuming your
gcc sources are in /usr/src/gcc):

mkdir /tmp/build/gcc
cd /tmp/build/gcc
export MAKE_MODE=UNIX
/usr/src/gcc/configure  --prefix=/tools --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld
2>&1 | tee configure.out

Look carefully at the start of the output, it will say "This
configuration is not supported in the following directories: ...." -
if it talks about gcj there then gcj isn't supported in cygwin.

If the configure worked, then
make -w all-gcc install-gcc LANGUAGES="c c++ java" 2>&1
| tee make.out

and hopefully it will work.
