I have never try this before, but I can give you some suggestions that
I may try:
1. check Makefile and modify AS as the name on your machine.
2. try alias the gas with as on your cygiwn machine.
3. use a managed mount; this will help you avoid some file name
case-sensitivity issues
that crop up in the kernel source code (ex, the netfiler code uses file
names that differ only in case).

BTW, I sincerely suggest you may find any useful information on cygwin
mailing list.
Since most of people on cygwin can compile kernel successfully.
