Hi,
I think I had a simmilar problem trying to build the 0.10.12 from the sources probably because of the PATH problem,
try to build from the latest SVN sources to see if it makes a difference.

The page: 
http://www.ethereal.com/docs/edg_html_chunked/ChToolsWin32Recommended.html 
will give you a good overview about the recommended tools.

You should have good reasons (and good knowledge with UNIX like build 
environments) to compile Ethereal without cygwin installed (e.g. a bash 
*is* mandatory).

No, there's something wrong with your build environment.
