I did it before and it compile. But in the port of omniorb itself, the 
omniidl command needs some Python software that it can't see. I wrote to 
the omniorb mailing list and they ask me if cygwin could create .so 
libraries. I didn't observe the gcc -shared command but I think you made 
it identical with the other gcc on the other platforms. They ask for 
knowing which platform to choose for the compilation as the cygwin one 
doesn't exist. I took the glibc2.1 platform. Do you think it is right (I 
regard the gcc version for this choice).

My choices :

to return to the python compiling and introduce a correct support thread
to use the native win32 omniorb implementation (is it possible and how)
to use another orb that is already ported on cygwin (do you know one)

As it is essential to my work I'm ready to make this effort as I think 
it is really interesting to have a Broker present and native for the 
cygwin platform in order to further banalize the windows os inside unix 
environment (as a matter of fact your work is really good).
