Next time inlcude the compile line too it will save me to some manpages
for the exact -lncurses to use.

If I start rxvt as just "C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -e
c:/cygwin/bin/bash.exe --login" I get "Hmm.. tady barvy nejdou !"
When I change the TERM=rxvt
I get "'KEY_BACKSPACE' - 263 - ^G" too when pressing the backspace key.

It can be a combination of several factors choose the ones that applies:
 o Your presumptions about what the results should be
 o Your rxvt configuration (or lack hereof)
 o Not reading the documentation (man rxvt)
 o Not understanding the manpage
 o Overlooking the section about "backspacekey"
 o Not searching the mailing lists archives

Note my .Xdefaults look like this:
$ cat ~/.Xdefaults 
XTerm.scrollBar: False
XTerm.saveLines: 2000
XTerm.font: Lucida Console-16
Rxvt.backspacekey: ^H
