Eric, FYI, there can be no solution when there isn't a clear description of the problem. You haven't posted any information on what Cygwin packages were installed on your system by setup.exe, as indicated in <http://cygwin.com/bugs.html>. You did not outline the exact steps that would allow people to reproduce the problem. You didn't even post the right makefile (you posted the top-level one, but the one that bombs is in tools/preverifier/build/win32). This is especially important since, by your own statement, other people cannot exactly reproduce your problem (different error code), even if people here could be bothered to download kvm and compile it. And to top it off, you've switched the subject of the message, so the continuity of the thread is broken (since you "mail client" doesn't bother keeping thread information either). That being said, remember that from the point of view of many build environments, Cygwin is more like Linux than like Win32. I don't know anything about kvm, but you may need to re-run configure, or something... Also, error code 255 usually means that a program couldn't be "exec()"d, so check the appropriate make rule in the offending Makefile.
