You appear to have 2 issues:

<<<<<<<<<<

Looks like icc on windows has fenv.h - but doesn't support exceptions
properly. To workarround this - edit 
/cygdrive/c/cygwin_cache/petsc-3.4.2/arch-mswin-c-opt/include
and remove  the lines related to PETSC_HAVE_FENV_H

  "/usr/bin/ar: petscvecmod.o: No such file or directory
<<<<<

Mostlikely this is related to using 'winzip' or '7zip' to untar petsc
sources. Try using 'tar' from cygwin.

Or you can ignore this issue if not using f90 modules from your code.

I then run configure and make all again, the previous make errors about grep, etc. , were gone! Now the make all ran to the end but gave the error "makefile:24: recipe for target 'all' failed", as shown below.  I opened the error.log and it said
