This still produces a libglibmm2.4_1 package which contains 
cyggiomm-2.4-1.dll etc., so I'm assuming it's ABI compatible with 
anything which is linked against that?

Hmm... I'm not sure exactly what went wrong there, but the backend job 
never actually got created (which is why cancellation didn't work).

I reran it as #9902, which appears successful.

I added this to your packages.

Thanks.
