With the following patch the latter option seems more feasible as it 
speeds up Cygwin quite a bit. First I did some timing with configuring 
Cygwin and here are the results (repeated three times but the results 
were basically the same on all the runs):

Normal Cygwin 1.7.9
real    1m6.456s
user    0m6.118s
sys     0m14.377s

With jojelino's patch
real    0m22.126s
user    0m5.899s
sys     0m14.316s

After this I decided to build the whole dll (using make -j3), first with 
jojelino's patch applied:

real    10m23.910s
user    5m50.155s
sys     7m35.555s

And decided not to run the test with the regular dll as it takes around 
20 minutes on this machine.

Here's the patch:
