That sounds like a bug in configure for whatever you are trying to build
(you didn't say). First off, it shouldn't even look for a static
library and none of that name exists in Cygwin. Also, if you need to
figure out what goes wrong you'd better advise make to output the full
command lines and not abbreviate (you will probably need to add V=1 or
something like that to the arguments).
Whatever Brian is building appears to be looking for the lzlib library
(https://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lzlib.html), which in some distros, such as Debian,
is provided by a liblz-dev package. As you said, it's not in Cygwin.
I would have expected the configure script to detect that Cygwin doesn't have
it.
