Clearly make is reporting that it can't find the directory ecos_build, 
so I'd first check that is being generated by the build tree process.

One thing that springs to mind - is your make.exe the correct one?  Try
make --version
which make

Even if the above return the correct info (it needs to be a Cygwin build 
of make to understand those paths) your configtool may be running in a 
different environment to your Cygwin shell.  To ensure the configtool 
and the command shell's envionment are the same launch the tool from the 
shell:
configtool &

Hope that helps..
