Seems to be the same error as reported from Sunbird tinderboxen: Bug 349623.

bsmedberg says this is the same thing as the xforms build problem, it's a tinderbox client problem:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/tools/tinderbox/post-mozilla-rel.pl#185
$srcdir is a windows path there, so it breaks in cygwin.

I don't have a Tbox here to test, but adding line 174' and 176' like below:
 172   if (TinderUtils::is_windows()) {
 173     # need to convert the path in case we're using activestate perl
 174     $builddir = `cygpath -u $builddir`;
 174'    $srcdir = `cygpath -u $srcdir`;
 175   }
 176   chomp($builddir);
 176'  chomp($srcdir);
would probably fix the issue, no ?

Regis: we'd like to avoid that since we'd eventually like to make the windows tinderboxen run under MozillaBuild instead.  bsmedberg suggested replacing the call to make-makefiles with:
"make -C <objdir>/extensions MOZ_EXTENSIONS=../fullsoft makefiles"

Oh I see, I wasn't aware of MozillaBuild so sorry for the interruption :)

We disabled Talkback completely on trunk Firefox builds, so I'm WONTFIXing this.
