Found a resolution to this problem. In lisp/Makefile.in, the rule for bbdb-hooks.elc has -eval '<long lisp expression>'. The <long lisp expression> is broken across several lines. After turning it into one long string without line breaks, this problem went away. There were two other gotchas. - Doing 'make all' doesn't build loadpath.el. configure does. So, if you do 'make clean' for any reason, you have to run configure all over again. - On Cygwin, the lisp/Makefile had two occurrences of ^M, which blocked make from going through. I had to remove them manually. These are probably old problems that happened during the build of bbdb-2.35 too. But I don't have much memory of it.
