Hmmm, maybe you get more responses in Cygwin mailing list :-?

It seems your win environment (cygwin) and your arch (I686) are not being 
recognized by the package itself and quits. There are some tricks to 
bypass this checking in a pure Debian installation but I'm not sure how 
this will work under cygwin.
