4.3.3 will not build out-of-the-box on cygwin, because it relies on
gnulib's tests, which had a bug at the time you ran gnulib-tool:

make[3]: Entering directory `/home/eblake/findutils-4.3.3-1/build/tests'
...
gcc  -O2 -pipe    -o test-dirname.exe  test-dirname.o -lintl
../gnulib/lib/libgnulib.a
../gnulib/lib/libgnulib.a(xalloc-die.o):xalloc-die.c:(.text+0xe):
undefined reference to `_libintl_gettext'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

This is fixed by making sure that 4.3.4 uses gnulib from Apr 17 or later.
