The main problem is, you're using the cygwin 4.5 compiler in its
"cygwin" mode to compile; this causes, among other things, to use the
/usr/lib/libuuid.a library instead of the /usr/lib/w32api/libuuid.a one
you really want.

Take a close look at the "bootstrap" script.  Unless you have a mingw
cross compiler installed, you probably should explicitly use 'gcc-3
-mno-cygwin' and 'g++-3 -mno-cygwin' as your CC and CXX.
