You are using "gcc" to compile for Cygwin, your pkg-config command will
also pull in Cygwin libraries, so it is expected X11 will be involved.

The cross compiler is normally x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc or
i686-w64-mingw32-gcc or some such variant.

You should be recompiling GTK for win32 also, you can't use native
libraries when cross compiling. You may also want to build a specially
modified pkg-config for cross compiles, eg i686-w64-mingw32-pkg-config
that points to your special PKG_CONFIG_PATH for your Win32 GTK libraries.

Cross compile GTK and its dependencies with --build=i686-pc-cygwin
--host=i686-w64-mingw32 --prefix=...., use x86_64-w64-mingw32 for win64.

Ditto, you mixed Cygwin with non-Cygwin, don't do that, cross compile
all the dependencies as well.

This is a problem with the older toolchains, it has been fixed some time
ago, you may need to update your mingw-w64 install and/or recompile your
code. IIRC this problem plagues early XP SP0 and Win2K (Win2K isn't
exactly supported by mingw-w64, so anything goes).
