All of my stuff complied on mingw is done by using these arguments:
./configure --enable-static --disable-shared --prefix=/mingw

then

mkdir /tmp/pkinstall
make prefix=/tmp/pkginstall install
go in tmp/pkginstall
strip binaries (not libs), removed uneeded, then make a package.

Also I don't try my builds on cygwin, but they should still work.
On win32 is almost always a good idea to use static libs
(cygwin1.dll cannot be static but it will be the only one dep,
I prefer mingw when possible, when not I often try to port it native).
