This information is necessary to anyone who are going to fix the issues
you've mentioned. In general, if you report a bug about configure
script not doing its job the Right Way (TM), it is a good idea to post
your config.log file.

On my Duron 800 with 512Mb RAM (running Debian GNU/Linux sid) running
GiNaC configure script takes about 1 minute. On ReactOS it is indeed 
somewhat slower, but it is not *that* slow.

You are trying to make win32 libraries with a mix of Cygwin and MinGW
tools. While it is certainly possible build win32 libraries/binaries
with such a setup, it is a little bit tricky, so I suggest you to use MSYS.
BTW, running shell scripts with MSYS is *much* faster.

If you insist on using Cygwin+MinGW, you need at least to

1) give the configure script proper --build and --host arguments,
   e.g.,

   --build=i586-mingw32msvc --host=i586-mingw32msvc

2) make sure that directories with MinGW tools listed first in your $PATH,
   which is not the case with your setup:

Yes, this is somewhat useful information.

OK, host name is really irrelevant.

I don't know if presence of this particular directory in your PATH is
important or not ...

... but instead of writing such an offensive phrase you could have
modified your PATH before running configure to not contain that
directory.

Autoconf does its job right, but CLN's tests/Makefile.in do not care
about $(EXEEXT). Attached patch should fix this.

There is no such a default. The value of this variable is determined by
the configure script, which is basically searches for required program
in your $PATH.

I think it is either Cygwin bug or just your setup is horribly broken.

Best regards,
