Most probably you converted the source files from Unix format to  DOS
(with CR-LF line endings, which results in compiler errors).

"arm" is not a reserved identifier. I can  compile  the  source  tree
perfectly fine here.


Why don't you do yourself a favour and use a Linux host for building?
You will have lots of avoidable problems under Cygwin.
