The offical ACE take on cygwin is that it has been ported but is 
currently unsupported. My understanding is that it can be done in MinGW 
mode using cygwin tools as the build environment.

See:
http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE_wrappers/ACE-INSTALL.html#mingw



Also, the ACE autoconf project is working on 'configure' build support 
for cygwin though it is unclear to me just how far this goes towards 
building a pure cygwin version. Check the ACE project file 
include/makeinclude/platform_cygwin32.GNU for details.

Will Win32 platforms be supported by the Autoconf integration?


    The ACE Autoconf integration will not support Win32 platforms since
    Win32 platforms generally do not have a UNIX-like environment in
    which the configure script can run, for example a Bourne shell. 
    However, the GNU-Win32 <http://www.cygnus.com/misc/gnu-win32> effort
    may allow the ACE Autoconf integration to work on Win32 platforms. 
    Work has been started to allow the ACE Autoconf integrations to work
    on Win32 platforms via Cygwin32.  This work is still incomplete,
    however.

btw - I'd be interested in knowing how things go if you do make it work.
