For me, on Cygwin, this test passes.

argp_program_bug_address is not undefined. If it were undefined, the
program would not link. The code tests whether its value is NULL or non-NULL.

In fact, it's a global variable defined in test-argp.c, and it has a non-NULL
value.

Something must be wrong with the way you build your Cygwin binaries.
What command lines are shown when you do
  $ rm -f test-argp.o
  $ make test-argp.o V=1

?
