I'm not a cygwin guru but I suspect this is the problem. Try using "/cygdrive/f/project" here too rather than "f:/project".
I'd guess the path with the f: is getting written into the Makefile as the path to the GCC source directory and it's only cygwin shells that understand the f: syntax.
It's possible "7" has run into the situation where
export HOME=/cygdrive/f/project/gcc-3.2.3/
will help.
Reference to the options required/supported in cygwin gcc builds would help.
It's also important to decide on the objective. Re-building all of cygwin
with a compiler older than the usual one could be an endless task. So
could building all languages of a version of gcc older than the one used
to build cygwin, while attempting (default) options not supported for
cygwin, possibly without installing the prerequisite components.
