You can't access more than 2GB (or 3GB with the appropriate kernel flag)
from any 32 bit Windows process. Since Cygwin's shared memory capabilities
are restricted to what the operating system allows, Cygwin won't change that
for you. When running Cygwin on Windows 64, it's still a 32 bit DLL, only
linkable with 32 bit applications so the usual 32 bit restrictions still
apply.
Just as a friendly reminder, since you're talking about using Cygwin in
an apparently proprietary project, I'd like to point you to the Cygwin
licensing terms: http://cygwin.com/licensing.html
