See
https://cygwin.com/packages/x86_64/w3m-src/w3m-0.5.3-3-src
the cygwin source package has several patches.
I suggest you to try rebuilding it to familiarize with the
cygport tool.
It is possible that the changes in the build tools need
some adjustment after all these years..
After the
cygport w3m.cygport prep
step, you can add your patch to the "src" subtree and cygport
will produce during packaging phase a new patch that you can rename
and add to the existing one in the w3m.cygport.
You can ask more info in the "cygwin-apps at cygwin dot com"
mailing list.
