It could be.  Did you remove config.cache before rerunning configure?
Ah, now I remember something; python's library support for Cygwin is
not standard...  You need to add something like
"/usr/bin/libpython2.2.dll" to LDFLAGS.  You can try

  LDFLAGS="/usr/bin/libpython2.2.dll" ./configure

No, I doubt that you can.

Autoconf >= 2.50 uses some new input formats, and versions <= 2.53a
have a critical bug for lilypond.

    $ make --help
    Usage: make [options] [target] ...
    Options:
    [..]
    -k, --keep-going            Keep going when some targets can't be made.
