FWIW, mine is:
$ mysql --versionmysql  Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.18, for pc-cygwin (i686) using  EditLine wrapper
conf'd with just --prefix=/opt/mysql --without-server then make && make install(and using TCP to connect w/ a local windows server).On my various (lots) installs, I never had a hitch.
I successfully built php 5.1.2 against it (and others which I don't remember).I remember doing the same with mysql4 and php4, but can't recall theexact versions.
I was in the process of building some emerge-like script (and learningpython at the same time), which helps me rebuild stuff from source tgzand change 'use' flags easily, and ideally script and automate a wholecygwin install+compile, but RealWork(tm) prevented me to come tosomething close to distributable. I'll certainly continue someday, butI wonder if anyone willbe  interested by such a script in the future(when it'll be usable by someone else than just me)?
