I believe Aaron Gray has had success building llvm on Cygwin:
http://www.aarongray.org/LLVM/BuildingLLVMonCygwin.html

However, those instructions may be a bit out of date...

If you are still encountering problems, please file bugs or submit 
patches. The majority of LLVM developers do not use Cygwin, so its quite 
possible there are problems.
