Please, can you handle this bug report, specific to Cygwin?
The GNU bash maintainer cannot reproduce it, as he doesn't use Cygwin.

Confirm it hangs in bash but not with dash/ash:
$ dash ./here-toobig.sh
here-toobig.sh: error: cannot find input file: 'Makefile.in'
$ grep -nC3 echo\ \'BEGIN here-toobig.sh
861- ac_cs_awk_cr=$ac_cr
862-fi
863-
864:echo 'BEGIN {' >"$ac_tmp/subs1.awk" &&
865-cat >>"$ac_tmp/subs1.awk" <<\_ACAWK &&
866-S["gltests_libgnu_LIBOBJDEPS"]=""
867-S["gltests_libgnu_LTLIBOBJS"]=""
$ awk '866 <= FNR && FNR <= 2710' here-toobig.sh | wc -lwmcL
1845 2041 65563 65563 177
and Cygwin works with 64KB "pages" and temp buffer sizes.
