Um, those aren't warnings my friend.  Those are errors.

If I had to take a guess it would appear that the language section
is not being compiled/configured correctly.  This normally happens on
UN*X platforms when you don't use GNU Make.  However, CygWin is
supposedly all GNU, so that wouldn't be the problem.  Last time I
attempted to compile Services under Windows I had a problem with
the Language section as well.

Yes Windows is indeed unsupported, for many reasons, one of which
is the problem you've run into above, and a whole smattering of
other reasons I could go into but wont.  Most notably is security
or the lack there of on a Windows box.  This is not to say that
it can't be done, but it will take some work.
