Do you need / want to use Cygwin?  The problem with Cygwin is that the 
POSIX-like CYGWIN.DLL is licensed under the GPL (not LGPL) so will 
prevent you from building any commercial applications around libvirt.

Instead, if you can, I suggest using MinGW + MSYS.

The error messages you post suggest that there has been some breakage of 
the Cygwin port over time, most likely broken when I started to arrange 
the reheaders for MinGW.
