I was actually a little curious about this, so I did a little
experiment. I sequestered away my normal Cygwin installation and
started with a fresh install. Aside from the default "base" packages
that setup.exe intstalls out of the gate, I found that I only had to
actually select three packages in setup: gcc, make, and perl. (and Perl
was required only for gendef it seems.)
After doing that I was able to build the Cygwin DLL from the source
package. Additional things may be required to build from a CVS
checkout, I'm not sure. And of course the dependencies of those
packages are required (i.e. gcc brings in w32api, binutils,
mingw-runtime, ...; perl brings in crypt, expat, ...) but from a user
standpoint if you're using setup those are apparently the only three
individual packages you need to select.
If you want an absolute list, here is my "cygcheck -c" for this test
environment, which was the result of "default install plus selecting
gcc, make, and perl":
