Do you have the cygwin aspell and aspell-dev package installed ? 
Both are required.

See in the end of config.log which commands exactly fails. Try to run the 
command by hand. 

What I have found is symbol "new_aspell_config", but "new_aspell_config" isn't 
in the library. 

$ nm /usr/lib/libaspell.dll.a | grep "new_aspell_config"
00000000 I __imp__new_aspell_config
00000000 T _new_aspell_config

I haven't found it in the header also in the internet only the label 
new_aspell_config  

$ grep  -r "new_aspell_config" /usr/include/*
/usr/include/aspell.h:struct AspellConfig * new_aspell_config();
/usr/include/pspell/pspell.h:#define new_pspell_config new_aspell_config

At least make sure to use the following for configure 

export PATH=/usr/autotool/devel/bin:$PATH
make -f Makefile.cvs 
CXXFLAGS="-fdata-sections" CFLAGS="-fdata-sections" 
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc" ./configure --prefix=/opt/kde3 -
-with-qt-dir=/opt/qt3 --disable-closure --disable-rpath --without-arts

If this does not help, let me know.
