There's not enough information in your message to help you.  How did you
configure?  Are you doing a vpath build (outside of the source tree)? 
Mysql 5 does compile fine under Cygwin, but you may require a few small
patches.  Search the archives for details.  But if you're planning to
use the server (instead of just the client utils and libs) then you will
be somewhat disappointed.
