It should be possible to build octave-forge on cygwin,

You should make sure you have cygwin's gcc 3.3.3. The defualt is 3.4.x, 
if you have that, downgrade to 3.3.3. using the cygwin setup utility.

After that, just try to download and compile octave-forge from source. 
It will take a lot of time ....
