Basically, compiling on Cygwin doesn't work yet :-)

Please do report bugs with latest Cygwin and latest Wine from git, and
solve if possible.

There isn't much useful that one can do with Wine on Windows. However,
it is a useful exercise in making Wine more robustly cross-platform
(and not just Linux, Linux and Linux) and making Cygwin better.
