why do you need glibc ?

cygwin has its own libc (newlib) and hydra-7.1-src
  build easily on cygwin

$ ./configure
$ make

------------------------
....
If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament

cd hydra-gtk && sh ./make_xhydra.sh
Trying to compile xhydra now (hydra gtk gui) - dont worry if this fails, 
this is really optional ...
`src/xhydra' -> `../xhydra.exe'
The GTK GUI is ready, type "./xhydra" to start

Now type make install
----------------------------


$ find . -name "*.exe"
./hydra-gtk/src/xhydra.exe
./hydra.exe
./pw-inspector.exe
./xhydra.exe
