I posted compiled version here.
http://www.megafileupload.com/kgm0/cygwin1.zip

This version contains another patch ripped from msys.
When cygwin process call non-cygwin executable, like mingw binary,
it will translate cygwin path format to windows format.

For example:
/mingw64/usr/bin $ iconv --help
Usage: C:\Portable\PrivData\cygwin\mingw64\usr\bin\iconv.exe [OPTION...]
[-f ENCODING] [-t ENCODING] [INPUTFILE...]
or:    C:\Portable\PrivData\cygwin\mingw64\usr\bin\iconv.exe -l
