Cygwin is not a version of Linux. It is its own breed, not quite Linux/ Unix, not quite Windows, but somewhere in the vast and mushy in between.
Even on their home page, they admit that it is a "Linux-like environment for Windows"; they do not call it 'Linux' outright. Notice also the hedging in the language, "substantial Linux API functionality" and "tools which provide Linux look and feel". Understand that as 'substantial' meaning not the whole thing, and 'look and feel' as appearance rather than reality:( So it is a common problem that what builds in Linux cannot be built in a practical manner in Cygwin. This is why I never even thought to try what you are doing. You should also try looking for help in the Cygwin mailing list, too.
