Hi, Jon,
I am using cygwin-1.7 on XP Professinal SP 3 and I do not
use rvm, so things may be a little bit different from yours. But
here are some information I know about ruby on cygwin.

As Csaba pointed out, _longjmp is among the things that
changed between cygwin 1.5 and 1.7. So ruby 1.8 cannot be built on
cygwin-1.7 .
This _longjmp problem was fixed in ruby subversion trunk
revision 23317, and the fix was backported to then-current ruby_1_9_1
branch. So now, all ruby 1.9.x can be built on cygwin-1.7 . But so
far, nobody has made the effort to do the porting and testing of ruby
1.8.x on cygwin-1.7, probably because no more active development is happening
for ruby 1.8. ruby 1.8 is fading out.
So what I recommend is
1. Get official ruby-1.8.7-p72-2 from cygwin.com . It was built for cygwin-1.5
and is outdated, but it can be used to help build
ruby-1.9.x .
2. Then build ruby 1.9.2 (or trunk).
3. If ruby 1.9.2 is built successfully, uninstall ruby-1.8.7-p72-2 .
A few weeks ago, I successfully built
ruby 1.9.2p35 (2010-11-02 revision 29665) [i386-cygwin]
ruby 1.9.3dev (2010-11-02 trunk 29669) [i386-cygwin]
from ruby_1_9_2 branch and trunk, respectively. They both showed several test
failures (as always on cygwin), but are good enough for my daily usage. So, at
least these revisions are known to work on cygwin-1.7. (Actually, most
revisions that I have tried worked. The codes seem to be very well maintained.)
I hope these information helps you build ruby-1.9 on
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 .
