I tried once and got some problems. I dont remember exactly what went wrong, but I think the problem might have been with my cygwin install.
I think it's expected to work. Here is a paragraph from the README file: To compile with Cygwin tools, follow the Unix instructions below, and be sure to configure with `--enable-shared'. The result is a Unix-style build, not a Windows-style build (e.g., Racket's `system-type' procedure returns 'unix, not 'windows, and `racket/gui' uses Gtk instead of Win32).
