Cygwin doesn't work that way.  It uses a custom built library that translates
POSIX system calls to similar Windows systems calls.  There are a few places,
such as file permissions, where differences will peek through.  Anyway, since
it does not run Linux compatiable libraries, it is not designed to build them.

The only solution I can recommend is to use a virtual machine, such as the Windows
Subsystem for Linux (WSL), Oracle Virtual Box, or VMWare.
