Are you storing any of your build input or output on a network drive? 
There can be problems with server<->Windows<->Cygwin conversions of file
times from some network servers. 
Do builds with all files on a local drive for time stamp consistency. 

Are timezone updates and settings for your Windows and Cygwin environments
current and identical e.g. Europe/Berlin or equivalent? 

make -d will show you what files and times are being compared. 
Run ls -l and cmd dir, and Windows and Cygwin ar -tv on the inputs and
outputs to see what both sides see for file and member timestamps. 
 
make -B will force a complete rebuild as a workaround. 

You may have to find a Windows build of make that handles archive member
file times consistently with your Windows cross-ar, and perhaps also a shell
for use by make, if build scripts do any explicit time operations.
