The download URLs referenced under
<http://wiki.squid-cache.org/KnowledgeBase/Windows#Pre-Built_Binary_Packages>
includes both binary and source packages which are being used to build.

Please check if you are using that src package rather than the
upstream release tarball. There may be cygwin specific patches applied
to it.

Also, if you need to build any features not included in the provided
binary package then you may consider the feature untested possibly
either not building or working. There may be some support from Cygwin
regarding those situations, but the upstream target for resuming
Windows support is 3.5 series.
