[XeTeX] Problems compiling xetex in cygwin

Hello all,

First time posting, good to be in the group :)

I've encountered some problems while compiling xetex 0.996 (Linux)
under cygwin, and btw, the compiling of xdvipdfmx was quite
successful.

As a ordinary user, I just follow the steps on the webpage,
(http://scripts.sil.org/xetex_linux). Since the error print outs don't
make much sense to me, I'd like to ask for some advice here. Is there
anyone that have the similar/same problems?

I have attached the configurations and the error print outs, hope they
might help. Thanks in advance
