I have had the same problems and found out that the problem lies in the 
path being too long.
I ran "nmake -f makefile.nmake /p" and found this:
         PATH = $(PCRE_DIR)\bin;$(PATH)
        $(ADNS_DIR)\adns_win32\lib;$(PATH)
        $(ZLIB_DIR);$(PATH)
        $(GLIB_DIR)\bin;$(GETTEXT_DIR)\bin;$(ICONV_DIR)\bin;$(PATH)
        $(PATH);c:\cygwin\bin
        
C:\ethereal-win32-libs\pcre-6.3\bin;C:\ethereal-win32-libs\adns-1.0-win32-04
\adns_win32\lib;C:\ethereal-win32-libs\zlib123-dll;C:\ethereal-win32-libs\gl
ib\bin;C:\ethereal-win32-libs\gettext-runtime-0.13.1\bin;C:\ethereal-win32-l
ibs\libiconv-1.9.1.bin.woe32\bin;C:\ethereal-win32-libs\pcre-6.3\bin;C:\ethe
real-win32-libs\adns-1.0-win32-04\adns_win32\lib;C:\ethereal-win32-libs\zlib
123-dll;C:\ethereal-win32-libs\glib\bin;C:\ethereal-win32-libs\gettext-runti
me-0.13.1\bin;C:\ethereal-win32-libs\libiconv-1.9.1.bin.woe32\bin;C:\PROGRA~
1\MICROS~3\Common\msdev98\BIN;C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\VC98\BIN;c:\winnt\system3
2;c:\cygwin\bin;c:\cygwin\bin

This means that whatever PATH contents one had before starting the 
build, that PATH is added to the new PATH variable 5 additional times 
instead of 1.
I have made changes (supplied) to config.nmake that takes care of this 
problem. Please consider it to be checked-in into SVN.
