Huh?

  tar xjf cygwin-1.5.12-1-src.tar.bz2
  cd cygwin-1.5.12-1
  mkdir build
  cd build
  (../configure; make) >& make.out

This builds a cygwin DLL.  Just tried it.

Since all of your arguments were presupposing something to do with CVS,
I assume that this addresses your concerns.  You don't need CVS and I
did not say that you had to use CVS.

It does make sense to check CVS or a snapshot to see if your problem is
fixed before you go to any effort trying to debug a problem, however.
