Also, since you mentioned it, try checking whether these are set (they
may be hard-wired during the build since they don't seem to be
customizable):

"
interprogram-cut-function is a variable defined in `simple.el'.
Its value is x-select-text

interprogram-paste-function is a variable defined in `simple.el'.
Its value is x-get-selection-value

"

I don't know if they are appropriate when using Cygwin but they work on
the w32 native build at least on ver. 23.3
