In your build command

  python setup.py config --compiler=mingw32 build --compiler=mingw32 install

you are not using cygwin gcc compiler but mingw32. I think you cannot
do this - don't ask why, some time ago I failed to determine the cause.

Anyway, under cygwin just try

  python setup.py build

then it should just pick up cygwin compiler.

Or, execute

  python setup.py config --compiler=mingw32 build --compiler=mingw32 install

from Windows cmd line.

HTH,
