And this later message lists some recommended steps:
  http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2011-06/msg00230.html
|       export lt_cv_to_tool_file_cmd=func_convert_file_cygwin_to_w32
|       export PATH="/c/MinGW/bin:${PATH}"
|       configure --build=i686-pc-cygwin \
|               --host=mingw32 \
|               NM=/c/MinGW/bin/nm.exe

In 'install_libxml2_libxslt.make', we already have:
  --build=i686-pc-cygwin \
  --host=i686-pc-mingw32 \
       NM='$(mingw_bin_dir)/nm' \
so I guess we should add the rest there, something like this:
        cd $(xml_dir)/$(notdir $@) \
+         && export lt_cv_to_tool_file_cmd=func_convert_file_cygwin_to_w32 \
+         && export PATH="/c/MinGW/bin:${PATH}" \
          && ./configure --prefix=$(prefix) $($(notdir $@)_options) \
          && $(MAKE) \
          && $(MAKE) install \
except that we're not using "/c/MinGW/bin". That looks like an MSYS
path; should we use a Cygwin path there?

And perhaps we should modify 'install_wx.make' too. Like the other
makefile, it already has:
  --build=i686-pc-cygwin \
  --host=i686-pc-mingw32 \
       NM='$(mingw_bin_dir)/nm' \
so I guess a patch like this would take care of the rest of Charles's
recommendations:
 .PHONY: wx
 wx:
+          export lt_cv_to_tool_file_cmd=func_convert_file_cygwin_to_w32 \
+       && export PATH="/c/MinGW/bin:${PATH}" \
+       && ../configure $(config_options) && $(MAKE) && $(MAKE) install
-       ../configure $(config_options) && $(MAKE) && $(MAKE) install
but with the same question about "/c/MinGW/bin" as above.
