If this is a commercial product, the GPL license will not allow you to
use Cygwin unless you release your source code.
You can purchase a license from Redhat for cygwin which would allow
you to sell your product.
I believe there's a FAQ on this on the site.

So before you spend a lot of effort getting your code to build under
cygwin, you should resolve the licensing issues.
