I'd guess that yasm is to blame (probably not yet fully prepared for Cygwin64*), somehow generating invalid object files that cause (e.g.) 'ld' to crash.
Just noticed both Cygwin(64) and MPIR 2.6.0 have yasm 1.2.0, but it looks as if Cygwin would patch it (from the package version).
You may try to use Cygwin's yasm, or look whether they do anything significant to its vanilla sources.
(At any rate, surely 'ld' shouldn't segfault even if yasm was the culprit...)
Or experiment a little with --host=... (i.e., the CPU type, such that other [assembly] files / a different MPN_PATH is chosen).

Did you try to use some other tools (using the BFD library) on the offending object files? (The archives in contrast are probably ok, although perhaps not all object files they contain.) -leif ____________ *(at least not the version currently shipped with MPIR)
