As usual, bad advice from third-party sites.  Remove steps two and three 
there, and install libevent-devel and libncursesw-devel from the distro 
instead (you already have the latter).

I did notice you have x86 DLLs in your C:\cygwin64\bin (grep your 
cygcheck.out for "not x86_64 dll").  Also, your PATH is constructed in 
such a way that /usr/bin is present twice (notice the duplicate entries 
throughout); I suggest fixing those issues, then see if you can compile 
a basic "hello world".
