Open a shell (cygwin or native) and cd to the location of the kernel sources.

Type: 

$ make ARCH=nios2nommu CROSS_COMPILE=nios2-linux-uclibc- menuconfig

This will work on a GNU/Linux system (provided you have ncurses and gcc installed, but you will need to perform quite some work _not_ to install these). If it does not in your Windows system, your basic compiler environment is bad.

Having a look at your cygwin output, it looks to me as if you did not install the compiler header files correctly.
