You need to build a cross compiler if you want to build linux binaries on Cygwin. The problem that you originally reported was missing headers, because you do not have the linux headers and libraries installed on Cygwin for the cross compiler to use. This is a general question about building cross compilers, it's not specific to Cygwin at all. I recommend you post on the crossgcc list.
