If you are stuck with Windows, I recommend using a linux VM on top
of it, instead of cygwin. (I use and like both, neither with Amber,
but think probably a linux VM will be easier.)

If I try to skip the patches with './configure gnu -cygwin' I get this message (by the way, the single quotes are to make the commands I enter stand out from the rest of my text. I did not actually put single quotes into my Cygwin bash) :
