This is explicitly mentioned in the cygconf section of the manual:

So change this:

>      lndirs
>      cd ${B}
>      cygconf --enable-shared
>      cygmake

to something like (depending on what options this configure actually 
accepts):

src_compile() {
  lndirs
  cd ${B}
  ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc --prefix=/usr || error "configure failed"
  cygmake
}
