Are you using the -src package from the cygwin mirrors, and the cygport 
script?  The rxvt shipped by cygwin has been heavily patched from 
upstream to support our (32bit) platform; at *minimum* you will need 
those patches to build the 64 bit version.

Unfortunately rxvt is pretty far down my list of priorities for porting 
to 64bit given its dead-as-a-doornail, ex-parrot status upstream and 
relative lack of users.  The best I can say is, I'll get to it eventually.
