This was disabled on Cygwin due to support problems on Cygwin.

  I believe because cygwin behaves like windows (it is just a posix layer over window) it doesn't have dynamic linking hence only static libraries have been built.

    Thanks a lot. 

    A see the shared library in linux version. I initially tried doing this in cygwin where I dont see the shared library being built. Do u think it could have been cygwin that is the problem?

      In order to generate shared libraries you need to have SHARED_LIBRARY
      and LOADABLE_MODULE defined in the Makefile. See here for more
