Oh, I think I see the problem.  Pasting more of the error message:

/usr/include/stdlib.h:66:28: error: expected ',' or ';' before ')' token
 _VOID _EXFUN(abort,(_VOID) _ATTRIBUTE ((noreturn)));
                            ^

Looks like the cygwin headers are broken for misusing 'noreturn' instead
of __noreturn__ inside __attribute__; something that is easier to patch
in cygwin than work around in gnulib.

For more proof:

$ printf '#include <stdnoreturn.h>\n#include <stdlib.h>\n' \
  | gcc -xc -E - | grep abort
void __attribute__((__cdecl__)) abort (void) __attribute__ ((_Noreturn));
$ printf '#include <stdnoreturn.h>\n#include <stdlib.h>\n' \
  | gcc -xc -E - -D_Noreturn='__attribute__((__noreturn__))' \
  | grep abort
void __attribute__((__cdecl__)) abort (void) __attribute__
((__attribute__((__noreturn__))));
