I build GHC from source under cygwin all the time. That is, I'm using a cygwin environment. There are instructions in the building guide. http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/building/winbuild.html You do need to install a mingw bundle too, and then point to its C compiler when you do the configure step. See the notes in sect 11.3.
