There is
configure:25389: checking for ISO C99 wchar_t support
configure:25399: result: no
and
configure:25841: checking for XPG2 wchar_t support
configure:25851: result: yes
configure:25866: checking for enabled wchar_t specializations
configure:25868: result: no
in the log.

The result is:
// Define if code specialized for wchar_t should be used.
/* #undef _GLIBCXX_USE_WCHAR_T */

These symbols are available in libcygwin:
btowc
mbrlen
mbrtowc
mbsinit
mbsrtowcs
wcrtomb
wcscat
wcschr
wcscmp
wcscoll
wcscpy
wcscspn
wcsncat
wcsncmp
wcsncpy
wcspbrk
wcsrchr
wcsrtombs
wcsspn
wcsstr
wctob
wprintf


But these symbols are missing:
fgetwc
fgetws
fputwc
fputws
fwide
fwprintf
fwscanf
getwc
getwchar
putwc
putwchar
swprintf
swscanf
ungetwc
vfwprintf
vfwscanf
vswprintf
vswscanf
vwprintf
vwscanf
wcsftime
wcstod
wcstof
wcstok
wcstol
wcstoul
wcsxfrm
wscanf


Then there is in the libstdc++ configure:

    dnl At the moment, only enable wchar_t specializations if all the
    dnl above support is present.


There are quite a lot symbols missing.
