Ignore the wikia article. Third party "advice" on how to use cygwin is 
usually outdated and/or flat out wrong. The multilib thing is especially 
suspicious, given that cygwin is *not* 64-bit capable.

I'd follow the directions at gcc's site, or -- even better -- invoke 
`/usr/bin/gcc -v' and copy its known-good configure line. I've compiled 
many versions of gcc with many versions of cygwin that way without 
difficulty.
