do a quick update here, thanks for Stefan, the solution seems part of
work for me

1. i changed to cygwin(32bit) due to cygwin64 always got fail, but i
got same fail with cygwin, so below update i based on cygwin.

2. default build will error as below,
HOSTCC     cbfstool/cbfstool.o
/cygdrive/d/FW/coreboot/util/cbfstool/cbfstool.c: In function 'main':
/cygdrive/d/FW/coreboot/util/cbfstool/cbfstool.c:1075:5: error: array
subscript has type 'char' [-Werror=char-subscripts]
     if (tolower(suffix[0])=='k') {
     ^
/cygdrive/d/FW/coreboot/util/cbfstool/cbfstool.c:1078:5: error: array
subscript has type 'char' [-Werror=char-subscripts]
     if (tolower(suffix[0])=='m') {
     ^

so i change my cbfstool.c code to :
--  if (tolower(suffix[0])=='k') {
++ if ((int)tolower(suffix[0])=='k') {

--  if (tolower(suffix[0])=='m') {
++ if ((int)tolower(suffix[0])=='m') {


3. patch 11636 works, so build pass util/cbfstool/common.c
but patch 11637 will fail with function '_fileno'
    HOSTCC     cbfstool/fmaptool.o
    HOSTCC     cbfstool/cbfs_sections.o
    HOSTCC     cbfstool/fmap_from_fmd.o
    HOSTCC     cbfstool/fmd.o
    HOSTCC     cbfstool/fmd_parser.o
    HOSTCC     cbfstool/fmd_scanner.o
<stdout>: In function 'yy_init_buffer':
<stdout>:1399:9: error: implicit declaration of function '_fileno'
[-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
util/cbfstool/Makefile.inc:59: recipe for target
'build/util/cbfstool/fmd_scanner.o' failed
make: *** [build/util/cbfstool/fmd_scanner.o] Error 1
