There's several different ways - the approach with Cygwin should
work using the configure script and generated makefiles.  But the
configure script doesn't look for pdcurses (which would be needed
if you were building with mingw).

With ncurses, similar issues (usually there's no packager interested).

I've done some cross-compiles of lynx using ncurses to mingw, however

+ Debian's tools are reasonably miniminal -- but lack packages for openssl, etc.
+ Fedora's packages, which do include pdcurses, are not minimal (making them
  worthless for any application like lynx)

If I were working on a 64-bit environment, I'd use Visual Studio Express
and build the libraries as needed there.  It's doable (wasn't for quite
a while), but a few days' work.
