Make fails on Windows + Cygwin

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download the code
2. Try to compile with "make"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Error : 
gcc word2vec.c -o word2vec -O2 -Wall -funroll-loops
/usr/bin/as: /usr/bin/as : fichier binaire impossible à lancer
Makefile:6 : la recette pour la cible « word2vec » a échouée
make: *** [word2vec] Erreur 1

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
word2vec won't compile
I have been using it with cygwin on windows since 3 months and now it won't 
compile anymore.
I've tried reinstalling all the components of Cygwin that I need, been through 
the trace logs of the make command but nothing works...

Do you have any idea why it is not working ?
