You have to use something similar to what's described for VLC in the 
INSTALL.win32 file.

I use this when cross-compiling:
./configure --enable-mingw32 --enable-memalign-hack 
--extra-cflags=-I/usr/win32/include --extra-ldflags=-L/usr/win32/lib 
--cross-prefix=i586-mingw32msvc- --enable-faac --enable-mp3lame --enable-pp 
--enable-gpl

But I guess under cygwin you should use something like that:
./configure --cc="gcc -mno-cygwin" --enable-mingw32 --enable-memalign-hack 
--extra-cflags=-I/usr/win32/include --extra-ldflags=-L/usr/win32/lib 
--enable-faac --enable-mp3lame --enable-pp --enable-gpl
