Hi Mike,
build fine, but why you don't use cygport instead of 
a script that seems its predecessor ?

On setup.hint 
"requires: cygwin" is not needed anymore. You need 
"requires: libgcc1 libstdc++6"

$ cygcheck ./iperf.exe
C:\cygwin2\pub\cygwin\usr\bin\iperf.exe
  C:\cygwin2\bin\cygwin1.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL
      C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll
        C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll
      C:\WINDOWS\system32\RPCRT4.dll
        C:\WINDOWS\system32\Secur32.dll
  C:\cygwin2\bin\cyggcc_s-1.dll              << libgcc1
  C:\cygwin2\bin\cygstdc++-6.dll             << libstdc++6
