You can link the final binary as long as you have import libraries.  As
far as I know, you don't need the actual libraries themselves since
you're not running the binary.  So for example, just install
winsup/w32api/lib*.a (or /usr/lib/w32api/lib*.a from an installed
Cygwin) into your cross compiler's library search path and the link
should work, assuming everything is setup right.  (You of course also
need a working set of headers too.)

If you check the Cygwin/X web site there's a nice guide on how to build
a cross toolchain for the purposes of building the XWin server (which
works equally well for general cygwin cross compiling.)
