I believe that mktime() implies calling tzset() which could result in trying to open a file under /usr/share/zoneinfo/*, which will not exist on your non-installed system (and even if it did there would be no mount present telling Cygwin what /usr is supposed to be.) I don't know why that results in a hang though. You should build a cygwin1.dll with symbols and step through the hang. I'm not really familiar with how Cygwin handles timezones so take this with a huge grain of salt but it looks like you can set "TZ=posixrules" if you want a built-in set of zone info to be used, otherwise it will try to access the files.
