I have edited my first post, however, the issue isn't just with bootstrapping, it's conceptual. That is why I suggested you to give it a try. You might want to look how system paths are handled, since Cygwin uses Unix-like style for them. Besides, it seems to me SCONS_LIB_DIR from the install-from-source instructions was not handled properly.
PS. As a side note, I would be glad if you could enable 'Tickets' functionality on your SourceForge page to deal with future bugs, if any, in just the right way.

I'm fully aware of how cygwin handles paths.
I don't have access to a cygwin system at the moment.
If you have a log of some error messages to share, then please do.
A wide open statement of "errors" or "a problem" doesn't help anyone help you or help resolve your issues.

SCons does not bootstrap in Cygwin/[GCC]Python 2.7

Hi, Bill. Could you just try, and see what happens?
I don't have easy access to a Cygwin setup.
If you would like some help, posting a log of your issue seems like a reasonable request...
