Sure.
I did it, but missed it obviously in my clisp-2.44-1.cygwin.patch.
Will be fixed in clisp-2.44-2, which will depend on /bin/cygpq.dll

"Builds "out of the box" on cygwin:"  is also not entirely right currently.
It used to need a interim fix during the make stage.
See the notes in clisp-2.44-1.cygport

"HACK! remove the duplicate /usr/lib/libiconv.a from LIBS
        absolute libreadline.a also clashes with -lreadline"

New is to build only a subset of the modules
    cygmake "MODULES=${MODULES}"
And build the rest for the three seperate packages extra with the 
clisp-linkkit.
