I have had a hard time to get it working in Windows, but finally I've managed to do it! The previous posts were correct - there's a problem with Cygwin paths and Windows paths. I have tried the solution described in the post above as the very first thing, but it was not working. Finally I've understand the reason: even if you put into your build_android.sh file the Windows path, the config for FFmpeg still contains the wrong path.

So in my case I have changed partially the config file in FFmpeg root directory from:

#set temporary file name
: ${TMPDIR:=$TEMPDIR} 
: ${TMPDIR:=$TMP}
: ${TMPDIR:=/tmp}

to this:

# set temporary file name
#: ${TMPDIR:=$TEMPDIR}
#: ${TMPDIR:=$TMP}
: ${TMPDIR:=D:/InstallTools/Android/Cygwin_Root/tmp}

After this, I got it compiling.
