Cygwin doesn't work that way. It uses a custom built library that translates POSIX system calls to similar Windows systems calls. There are a few places, such as file permissions, where differences will peek through. Anyway, since it does not run Linux compatiable libraries, it is not designed to build them. The only solution I can recommend is to use a virtual machine, such as the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), Oracle Virtual Box, or VMWare.
