Sorry, nope. For me that has always worked fine, Cygwin has never mistaken me to be superuser if 
I use my normally powered Windows account.

What does your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files look like?

My entry in /etc/passwd is:

Martin:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1004:513:U-ATOMISER\Martin,S-1-5-21-1229272821-343818398-682003330-1004:/home/Martin:/bin/bash

and /etc/group looks like this:

root:S-1-5-32-544:0:
SYSTEM:S-1-5-18:18:
None:S-1-5-21-1229272821-343818398-682003330-513:513:
Administrators:S-1-5-32-544:544:
Guests:S-1-5-32-546:546:
Users:S-1-5-32-545:545:
HelpServicesGroup:S-1-5-21-1229272821-343818398-682003330-1001:1001:



Where would be an appropriate place to check the uid and fail with a
useful hint?

I think the "inner" configure.in (clone/bootstrap/configure.in) would be the best place. Or even 
build.pl (clone/bootstrap/solenv/bin/build.pl).

Patch attached!
