Michael has mentioned (above) that the 4.0 is unstable.
Please see our exchange, we do seem to be in agreement to move away
from lo fork of make and test a more recent (4.1) upstream build.
I'm currently working on making a test binary (32 and 64 bits)
available for internal testing.

I'd hope anyone attempting to build LO will be savvy enough to use
64-bit cygwin on a 64-bit machine (for performance reasons).
I know I do, and the make binary on dev-www.libreoffice.org, which is
32-bits, works perfectly fine (so it's not accurate that it won't run
on a 64-bit cygwin, because it's not a cygwin binary, rather it's a
native windows binary).
