I have not been able to compile Wireshark at all, not once since mid

somehow sets different security permissions than that of the
help\faq.txt file.
It sounds like it would be better to use something like
xcopy /Y help\faq.txt FAQ rather than using cygwin cp ....
Could you try changing Makefile.nmake to use xcopy ... to see if that
works properly in your environment.
If so, let us know and I'll commit the change.
