ld.so.conf and ldconfig are aspects of the Linux dynamic linker.  There
is no such thing under Windows or Cygwin, so those instructions are
meaningless.  The closest equivalent is to ensure that the installed DLL
is in the path.  This normally means that if you configured with
--prefix=/usr/local (the default) that you should get a
cyg<whatever>.dll in /usr/local/bin and hence you need /usr/local/bin in
the path.  Only static libraries and import libraries go in
/usr/local/lib, and these do not need to be in the path.

I assume this is a copy and paste error and that there was no space in
`_libintl_gettext'.  It sounds like you need to add -lintl to the link
command line.  If I'm not mistaken, these functions are part of glibc on
the Linux platform so there is no need for any extra -l switches there. 
If this is the case then it indicates that the configury for this
program is seriously broken, because these things are supposed to be
detected.  You might try an autoreconf --install --force --verbose (or
run the equivalent bootstrap.sh if included) before trying anything
else.

OT: Why in the hell are you compiling source code under /etc?
