You do not need Cygwin installed or active to build NDK code for Android any

From our internal documentation page where Nathan assembled the instructions
(he's on holiday right now), the extra bit that you need is probably this:
Well, that is contrary to the published Google documentation,
unfortunately.
I have managed to build code using just GNU Make and the ndk_build
without Cygwin too, but it is unsupported and you are likely to
encounter all kinds of bugs - most of the scripts in NDK assume
Unix/Linux system and bash being available. I have spent almost a week
fighting with a problem that ended up being caused by the version of
bash from MinGW (or Git, not sure now) that is patched to actually
mangle the path names, pre-pending its own installation directory. That
was of course causing ndk_build and other scripts to fail in random
ways. That's why Google is asking for Cygwin - it is a "known-good"
quantity.
I really don't recommend doing this unless you have a lot of time to
waste debugging the convoluted NDK build system.
