You are not required to use GCC if you use Cygwin; you are required to use a
C compiler with similar syntax to GCC if you use an autoconf configure
script. You can use Cygwin's build environment (including its awk, sed, cut,
bash) without using *all* of its components (ld, gcc, libc).

configure will use your system compiler to test for libraries in whatever
location your system compiler uses by default. Find a wrapper around your
compiler and run ./configure CC=/path/to/wrapper and go from there. The
header files in /usr/include (C:\cygwin\usr\include) should never be
referenced.
