No, you download the Cygwin source using setup.exe by checking the 'Src'
box for the package. Note that by design of setup.exe, if you have a
version of the package installed, you can only download the source for
that version.

Most Cygwin packages come with Cygwin-specific documentation that should
be in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/<package>-<version>.README for newer packages.
That README file should contain build procedures on Cygwin, the exact
configuration options used to build the binary package, etc.

Most likely that information will be in the Cygwin-specific README as
well. If not, you could try setting CC="gcc -g" and CXX="g++ -g". You
may also have to disable stripping of the executables.
