Strange!  Is there a particular part of it that's come out wrong?
With more information we could try to fix it.

That shouldn't be necessary; there's at least one Android project I'm
aware of that uses Libevent, and they don't do anything odd to patch
the configure file.

As near as I can tell, their configure line is
   CC=droid-gcc LD=droid-ld ./configure --host=arm-none-linux-gnueabi

But note that they build from Linux -- I don't know anybody who's
tried targetting Android from Cygwin.

Best of luck!
