I got a similar error, "checking whether cl can create executables... no", when compiling with VC7. The solution was to "call vcvars32.bat" in a batch file I run before compiling.

mozconfig exists and gets read...
i tried that vcvars32.bat... doesn't seem to work the trick.

I searched Google for "whether the C compiler * works no", and found several pages suggesting that you look at config.log.
Btw, are you following the instructions for building Mozilla on e.g. http://www.mozilla.org/build/win32.html or are you just stumbling around in the dark? (The only step that differs from those instructions is adding a .mozconfig.)

that fixed that problem
Forgot to put in a path in the lib environment.
Now I have this :/
checking for ar... no
checking for ld... link
checking for strip... no
checking for windres... no
/cygdrive/f/Program: not found
I think its from not knowing the CXX?

My guess is that something got confused about "F:\Program Files\" because "Program Files" contains a space. Have you followed the instructions and installed nothing other than MSVC into a directory whose name contains a space?
What's in config.log?

I found my problem in config.log
I gotta start there more often.
Then I had another path error and now it is seeming to build. Lets just hope it fully builds
Thanks for your help.

My directory is not in home, it's c:/cygin/mozilla as recommended.
Anyone found out the reason for this?
It's the same problem. Move the source tree out of c:/cygwin completely.
