No, it's not working because on Cygwin64 there are no 32bit libraries at all
and no 64bit libraries on Cygwin32, vice-versa.

Whatever you are trying to do there, you will likely need to use a
cross-compiler.  In any case the result is completely useless on Cygwin64,
so you might just as well not build it in the first place.
