Which perl did you use?
There are some patches in the cygwin (perl-5.6.1) sources so it should
build with one or two failures.  There is also a build script included
in the cygwin-perl sources in CYGWIN-PATCHES subdirectory.

Which Windows are you on?
FAT drives gives some more failures.
Which environment settings do you use, there are more failures on NT if
you don't use CYGWIN=ntsec .

Bleadperl (perl-devel) builds today with two or three test failures but
may be fixed or some more tomorrow.

Ciao,
