The error being reported is that GNUmake can't find the program 'podchecker' 
which should be part of your Perl installation.  However by this point in the 
build it has already compiled and installed everything that can be built on 
Windows, so you can ignore this error.  If you don't want to see it in the 
future, you can comment out this line from the base/src/Makefile:
    DIRS += cap5

The reason why this looks like a Cygwin problem is that the shell that is 
trying to run the podchecker command was built (by Wind River as part of 
Tornado 2.2) using Cygwin.  Your EPICS binaries will not require cygwin to 
work.
