I was unable to install Test::Unit using the CPAN module because I 
needed to install the Class::Inner prerequisite, and the tests for 
Test::Inner fail on my machine.  Do you already have Class::Inner installed?

I installed Class::Inner from the tarball by hand (using gmake), and 
noticed that the tests pass if I call them directly, without using 
Test::Harness.

With Class::Inner installed, I was able to install Test::Unit using the 
CPAN module. The make error you see looks like a fundamental 
configuration problem.  Are you using a Cygwin version of gmake?  BTW, 
I'm using Cygwin (not sure how to tell what version) on Windows NT 4.0, 
using the Cygwin Perl build, v5.6.1.

I also just tried a CPAN install on a similar configuration except it's 
Windows 2000, and got the same results.

I would imagine, if you know what files need to go where.
