See <http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=27961105> and <http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/installing.html#build-requirements> Prebuilt static link libraries for msvc compilers are available at <http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#matplotlib>. It seems you are trying to compile from within cygwin, using the include files provided by cygwin. That will probably not work.
