Well, you can resurrect the old cache2.c code that used different
functions, but that causes a memory leak.
I have no idea which thread functions you are supposed to use on cygwin.
Could you tell me the result of
grep HAVE_SHM config.h
if that is available the separate-process-cache could be used on cygwin.

pthreads has nothing to do with it, those are native Windows (and OS/2 even) thread functions.
