I guess over the years I've just ended up collecting small static versions of 'unix tools' in my tools folder under unix.... cp, rm, mv, ls, mkdir.exe, echo.exe, touch, uname, make.exe, and some less generally useful things, wget, ssh, cvs, mtn but I think of the above cmake only needs make and other things are handled with cmake -E commands and then the compiler... and make (mingw32-make) comes with mingw anyhow; so I'm pretty sure everything can build with MinGW (not MSYS), cmake, and the android NDK on a clean system. (and 30% faster than a cygwin environment) personally I can't stand how slow cygwin is; even things just built with cygwin run 30-50% slower than any other compiler... and it's really not worth it to have paths that don't really work.... and then redhat got ahold of it and it just went downhill from there (yes that was a long time ago) MinGW doesn't even need environment changes, just need the bin in PATH...
