Most folks don't build the X-based cygwin XEmacs.  They use the
ms-windows-based cygwin XEmacs. (Yes, that's right: XEmacs, when built
on cygwin, can use either native mswindowing stuff, or X windowsing
stuff).

I think the X-based cygwin XEmacs may be suffering bitrot, BUT...

just go to xfree.cygwin.com for the X distribution that works with
cygwin.  Read the (cygwin-xfree) FAQ.  Read the (cygwin-xfree) download
and installation instructions.  etc.
