Hmmm, maybe you get more responses in Cygwin mailing list :-?

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/

It seems your win environment (cygwin) and your arch (I686) are not being
recognized by the package itself and quits. There are some tricks to
bypass this checking in a pure Debian installation but I'm not sure how
this will work under cygwin.

Actually, there is no dpkg package in the official cygwin repo, but
there is one in cygwinports¹ which is actively mantained.
