I suspect that the reason you didn't receive any replies is that your
question doesn't make much sense.  The whole point of cygwin is to
provide an environment for building GNU tools without reliance of
proprietary programs like those provided by Borland's.  It is extremely
unlikely that you'll be able to use Borland's compiler to build GNU
tools for an ARM target.

Just install gcc, like the rest of the Cygwin world, and use that.
Rerun setup.exe (from Install Cygwin Now!), click on the plus sign next
to "Devel" and then select gcc and any other tools you need.
