Well, only the txt2c target is affected by this (the other ones are ok) 
so I went on compiling. In order to compile successfully under cygwin I 
had to do the following:

1) export CPPFLAGS='-I/home/zbynek/boost -DUSE_IPV6' in order to find 
boost includes and include support for ip6 which is used somewhere deep 
in boost/sockets/src

2) export LDFLAGS='-L/path/to/compiled/boost/libs' in order to find 
boost libs (after compiling them and renaming them - add missing 
libboost_*). I wanted to add ' -liconv -lintl' as well to link iconv and 
intl (they were missing from the final link command) but that didn't 
work because this way the libs appeared before monotone-commands.o that 
require them and the missing references didn't ge resolved.

3) instead I had to modify Makefile.am and add these lines
monotone_LDADD += -liconv -lintl
unit_tests_LDADD += -liconv -lintl
depot_cgi_LDADD += -liconv -lintl
after the definition of the respected vars.

After that I got monotone.exe to play with :-)
