Cygwin is a bit of a PITA, IMO. AFAIK, you have to download the setup.exe and run it. It should list what you can install. You'll have to look thoroughly through the packages and find rpm-build. I think Cygwin itself is just a DLL that implements the necessary system calls to make the ports work. So, I don't think you have to worry as much about the Cygwin version as you have to worry about the packages that are installed in it.
