At a guess you are using a cygwin version prior to 1.0. The problem is that
config.sub is a shell script and therefore requires /bin/sh to be present.
With older cygwins, /bin didn't always point to the cygwin tools.
As a stopgap measure, mount the cygwin bin directory as /bin. For example,
from a bash prompt:
bash-2.03$ mount 'c:\cygwin\bin' /bin
Obviously change c:\cygwin for wherever you installed cygwin.
