But I failed at a number of options / packages in the past and only got clang and a few tools like clang-format to run under Cygwin. I apologise, but I really have no clue about building anything properly for Cygwin (yet).

Hi Andreas,

have you started looking to the current cygwin source package and 
patches for hints and guidance ?

Unfortunately the package is without maintainer, and volunteers to take 
over are lacking.

Motivation/Need is a good starting point for becoming a maintainer,
feel free to post here your issues in trying to compile it;
maybe we can help you
