I asked the developer of the interpreter. He said it's OK to use the PAGE_SIZE value different than 4096. So I used this dirty hack:

#ifndef __CYGWIN__
#define PAGE_SIZE 4096
#endif

This means on Cygwin it will use the default PAGE_SIZE defined on limits.h (I'm taking advantage of the naming conflict here so I don't have to rename PAGE_SIZE to JIT_PAGE_SIZE as suggested by the developer of the interpreter).

The result is it's no longer error with "Unable to mprotect" but will silently crashed without any error messages printed on the screen. So after all, it's Cygwin's quirks here.

On the context of the source code (it's an interpreter), PAGE_SIZE is indeed JIT_PAGE_SIZE (not the system page size, but the page size defined internally by the interpreter). On Linux, the name doesn't conflict. On Cygwin, I found on limits.h and cygwin/limits.h already defined PAGE_SIZE so it caused a naming conflict:
