It says,

which IIUC means it should ignore such errors on its own -- not stop
with a hard failure, such as with not being able to construct a path
with a correct nesting level to a script, which is there.
Following make by how it changes its current working directory, I get:
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/lavr/build/i686-pc-cygwin/winsup/doc'
builddir=`pwd` \

ls: cannot access ../../../../cygwin-snapshot-20130925-1/winsup/doc/xidepend:

So the xidepend location was calculated correctly w.r.t. to the build directory,
but since cwd changed to the source tree (?), it was no longer valid.
