  I don't know if you made any progress on getting this resolved.  I had a
similar problem (configuring process did not find the standard include
files).  I tracked the problem down to the software looking for the include
files in /usr/include, rather than the appropriate cygwin directory.  I
worked around the problem by copying cygwin's includes into a newly-created
/usr/include directory.  I'm sure there's an option to configure to specify
this, but I took the easy way out...

  After doing this, I was able to compile egcs, including the gcj stuff, but
wasn't able to compile libgcj.  I don't have my notes with me, so I can't
report the exact error, but it appeared to be a limitation of the Windows
environment, so I gave up at that point.
