Building cygwin from CVS requires gcc, a spare build directory (don't
build in the source dir), and the deep knowledge how to get rid of the
optimizer flag when building. It boils down to
Read http://cygwin.com/cvs.html
[...]
$ cvs co winsup
$ mkdir ../build
$ cd ../build
$ ../src/configure
$ make CFLAGS=-g CFLAGS_FOR_TARGET=-g
Stop all Cygwin processes
Replace /bin/cygwin1.dll with new-cygwin1.dll from your build dir.
Copy cygwin1.dbg from the build dir to /bin.
Start debugging.
What would be helpful is a simple testcase in plain C which does not
require an interpreter (python) to run. The less environment, the less
code you need to reproduce a problem, the simpler to debug.

Easy. Just ask the valgrind guys to stop relying on non-portable Linux
features.
