does your cygwin system include a "lzip" binary?

Buildroot checks the host system for needed dependencies and, if they are 
missing, downloads and builds the missing package(s), for details check 
the scripts in support/dependencies/. Apparently cygwin includes lzip 
whereas your build system lacks it.

The solution is to call "make host-lzip-source" on your cygwin system and 
then copy lzip-1.19.tar.gz to your build system.
