You need to use an SH-1 compiler that understands the cygwin path
convention. Justin Heiner has provide one at

Are you sure you installed perl on cygwin (instead of a standalone perl
executable)? Cygwin understands the #! notation for shell scripts and the
Rockbox scripts work on it without any modification.
