(I haven't tried the win32 build since a while, but...)
As your post suggests, you first built the backend (eventually using the cygwin autotools). The two builds are independent, so the configuration the "configure [--options]" does for cygwin isn't valid for win32.
You must untar the source tree again, after removing the one for backend's build, and follow the instructions for win32.
