Building GMP, MPFR and MPC seems like overkill. The following packages are 
available for Cygwin:

libgmp-devel 6.1.2
libmpfr-devel 4.0.2
libmpc-devel 1.1.0


BTW, if you're trying to build Bedrockdb, G++ 6 is likely unable to help you. 
The Bedrockdb developers seem to suffer a bit from "all the world is Linux" 
syndrome.
