No:

    Configuring extensible-exceptions-0.1.0.0...
    cabal-bin.exe: Cannot find the program 'ghc' at
    '/c/bin/ghc-6.10.1.20090308/bin/ghc' or on the path

'ldd libraries/cabal-bin.exe' finds no cygwin dependencies;
everything points to /c/WINDOWS/system32. I presume that
the mingw-ghc used the include mingw gcc, not cygwin's gcc.
Indeed, I tried deleting that file, and got: 

    ghc.exe: could not execute: C:\bin\ghc-6.10.1.20090308\gcc

It doesn't seem like it will build cygwin programs.
