This seems to be a cygwin issue. cygwin 1.7.8 seems buggy.  Do a web search
of "cygwin 1.7.8 __xpg_strerror_r", you will see there are many
reference of the bug, see for instance:

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin/125487

Try update to the latest cygwin to see if the problem is still there.
(We have seen user with cygwin 1.7.9 was able to compile mpich2 without
any major problem).
