This is getting closer, but it still changes the behaviour on non-cygwin platforms.  I think I'd introduce a new macro, perhaps something like 

#ifdef __CYGWIN__
#define __cygwin_fenv_static __fenv_static
#else
#define __cygwin_fenv_static static
#endif

then use __cygwin_fenv_static for the cases you want to change.

This should then keep the existing behaviour on elf systems.

This comment will need updating as well to describe the requirements for cygwin.
