PHP 5.5.9, PHP 5.6.2 on Cygwin?
Were they even released on Cygwin?

Unfortunately, I think memcache is a separate package from php and it 
would not be compiled in by cygports.

From what I read memcache is rather unmaintained and should be 
deprecated. Memcached should be used instead.

Memcache can't really be compiled for php7. Memcached can be. Taking a 
quick look at memcached, the memcached server compiles fine on cygwin 
except for one minor printf statement. Libmemcached, which php-memcached 
relies upon, requires a little bit more work (it's that whole "undefined 
symbols in shared libraries" thing). You possibly may want to consider 
moving your code from memcache to memcached.

For most websites memcache/d is optional. If the website detects that 
memcache/d is not present during setup, it simply does not use it. 
Usually people just don't use it for development and then turn it on for 
production. That is unless you specifically want to run memcache/d code 
on Cygwin.
