Back when I compiled from source tarballs, I used a simpler approach:

- Install sources for cygwin, w32api
- cd /usr/src/cygwin-<ver>/winsup && ln -s /usr/src/w32api-<ver> w32api
- cd /usr/src/cygwin-<ver> && mkdir build && cd build && configure <opts>

where <opts> are the options from <http://cygwin.com/contrib.html>.  I
don't know why you'd need mingw...  You *do* need bo build in a separate
directory, though...
