According to a quick GOOGLE (GIYF) - magic.mgc is part of the "file" package for
cygwin - are you sure you have installed this ? The magic.mgc file itself should
be in /usr/share/file

If this is not the cause - we need the FIRST error lines from make because they
will contain the real error, the set posted here just tell us that make is
abandoning because of earlier errors.
