Build Error

I am getting a build error and I have been searching for a solution but have found nothing yet. I got the most recent source code of VLC last night. I have tried several others but continue to get errors during the bootstrap of configure. I finally got past the bootstrap and got it configured with this new source code. So I started the compile and it compiled fine with now errors. But now when i run the command 'make package-win32-base' i get the following error:

strip: './vlc-0.9.0-git/plugins/*.dll': No such file
make: *** [package-win32-base] Error 1

I look at the package that it is trying to build and it does not have any .dll's in the plugins folder.
The only way I have been able to fix this is to copy the .dll's out of a stable compiled version of VLC into my plugins folder. I also have a problem with the libvlc.dll as well but I am assuming that it is probably because it did not finish building it when it reached this error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am compiling this via Cygwin in a Windows Vista Service Pack 1 environment. I have not made any changed to the source code because I just wanted to get it to compile and build before I started making changes.

Thank you.

It does create the plugins folder but it puts nothing in there. Its just an empty folder. I'm not sure where it supposed to be building all these dll's from?
