4.3.3 will not build out-of-the-box on cygwin, because it
relies on
gnulib's tests, which had a bug at the time you ran
gnulib-tool:

make[3]: Entering directory
`/home/eblake/findutils-4.3.3-1/build/tests'
...
gcc  -O2 -pipe    -o test-dirname.exe  test-dirname.o
-lintl
../gnulib/lib/libgnulib.a
../gnulib/lib/libgnulib.a(xalloc-die.o)alloc
-die.c:(.text+0xe):
undefined reference to `_libintl_gettext'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

This is fixed by making sure that 4.3.4 uses gnulib from Apr
17 or later.

Follow-up Comment #1:

I have applied the suggected change to 4.3.x but have no
access to a Cygwin
system to test this.   Could you verify that the problem is
fixed?

Follow-up Comment #2:

As of Apr 18, CVS findutils builds fine on cygwin, but the
testsuite still
fails due to bug #18414 when run as a user with admin
privileges (where
access(R_OK) succeeds on any file, regardless of mode).

FAIL: access.new-O3, --- find.out	2007-04-18
08:58:32.353530000 -0600
+++ cmp.out	2007-04-18 08:58:32.369149500 -0600
 -1,10
+1,7 
 r tmp
-r tmp/0
 r tmp/r
 r tmp/rw
 r tmp/rwx
-r tmp/w
-r tmp/x
 w tmp
 w tmp/rw
 w tmp/rwx


Also, several tests fail when CDPATH contains ., rather than
gracefully
skipping those tests; contrast the output of two different
tests in this
snippet:

FAIL: execdir-in-unreadable.new-O3,
/home/eblake/findutils/find/testsuite/../find: The current
directory is
included in the PATH environment variable, which is insecure
in combination
with the -execdir action of find.  Please remove the current
directory from
your $PATH (that is, remove "." or leading or
trailing colons)
Running
/home/eblake/findutils/find/testsuite/find.gnu/execdir-one.e
xp ...
WARNING:  Cannot perform test as your $PATH environment
variable includes a
reference to the current directory or a directory name which
is not absolute


As those are both testsuite failures (and one already has a
separate bug
open), and not build failures, this bug is fixed once you
release 4.3.4.
