I glanced at your pastebin files briefly.  These warnings and errors appear to 
be garden variety coding issues.  Nothing Cygwin-specific that I can see.

The first warning is that you've defined physmem but aren't using that 
definition anywhere in the same function.  The second warning tells that you 
haven't defined remap_file_pages() at any point before it's used in that source 
file.  It needs to be defined before use in that file, or in a header file 
#included before use.  And the error message is messily saying 
remap_file_pages() wasn't defined in any of the object files you're linking.

Dunno how this could work as-is anywhere :-).  Minor tweaks should fix it.
