This is the problem. The package's makefile is calling ld directly to link. It's also assuming that shared libraries have the .so extension. Neither of these are true on Cygwin, which means whoever maintains this package was not very worried about portability, because this is a pretty awful way to write a makefile. If you want it to work, you'll need to change the makefile to link with gcc, to use the correct output filename (probably cygcfg+.dll but possibly cygcfg+-n.dll where 'n' is the ABI version), create an import libary (-Wl,--out-implib,libcfg+.dll.a), enable auto image basing (-Wl,--enable-auto-image-base), etc. These sorts of differences in creating libraries are exactly why libtool was invented, rather than hand-coding the link step in the makefile.
