I'm sorry you're having trouble. It looks as if you may not be following the instructions in the Building Guide. I believe that if you ruthlessly do what it says, it'll work. http://haskell.cs.yale.edu/ghc/docs/latest/html/building/winbuild.html You don't give a lot of evidence in your message, but the instructions say nothing about a "--build" flag to "configure". I'm not sure what it does and I have no confidence that it'll work. I'm not sure how you "tried to build the CVS head in Cygwin, using both gcc 2.95 and gcc 3.1 and both a Cygwin and a Mingw version of the compiler". The instructions don't say anything about that either. Give it a try as described, and see if that helps. You might want to start from a fresh tree.
