Thakns. It worked.  
I have been tested after install at ..../test by executeing fntests.m from the octave prompt.
>From now, I can do it by  'make check'
  
However, in case of octave-3.0.0+, run-octave is used during  'make' for making images by the octave
script of sparseimages etc. 
Then make stops at run-octave is executed.

Hi, John,  is it possible to comment out run-octave.in before './configure'.

If it is possible to detect the run-octave shell comand working on cygwin, I can consider the patch.

Oh! you have already prepared octave binaries in the cygwin distribution style.
It is a good news!!!
  

Do you use an original gcc-3.4.4-3 on cygwin?
How about the speed?  
In my experience of octave 2.1.7x, the speed of the binary depends on version of cygwin1.dll for sjlj
exception case.     

Anyway I am glad to see your working on the cygwin based octave.

Thanks

Tatsuro
