I found the problem, Thomas Pfaff introduced system functions with the
same name, to get rid of this error, I renamed the BerkeleyDB internal
functions __lock_close() and __lock_init() to s.th. more unique.

These fixes apply to all MySQL 4.x.x versions
=============================================

# cd to the libmysql directory
cd mysql-4.x.x/libmysql

# Add -no-undefined to libmysql/Makefile.shared
sed -i "s:target_ldflags =:\0-no-undefined:g" Makefile.shared

# cd to the top source directory
cd ../

# Remove AC_PREREQ(2.12) from configure.in
sed -i "s:AC_PREREQ(2.12)::g" configure.in

# Autoreconf. Run:
autoreconf --install --verbose --force

# Remove #pragma interface defines everywhere:
grep -rl "#pragma interface" * | xargs -r sed -i "s:#pragma interface:/*\0*/:g"

# cd to the bdb subdirectory
cd bdb

# Rename conflicting BDB internal functions:
grep -rl "__lock_close" * | xargs -r sed -i "s:__lock_close:__lock_close_bdb:g"
grep -rl "__lock_init" * | xargs -r sed -i "s:__lock_init:__lock_init_bdb:g"


# Additionally
# Change my_thr_init.c: line 74ff to:

#ifdef PTHREAD_ERRORCHECK_MUTEX_INITIALIZER_NP
  pthread_mutexattr_init(&my_errchk_mutexattr);
#ifndef __CYGWIN__
   pthread_mutexattr_setkind_np(&my_errchk_mutexattr,
                               PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK_NP);
#else
#define PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK_NP     PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK
  pthread_mutexattr_settype(&my_errchk_mutexattr,
                               PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK_NP);
#endif
#endif



However, it seems that the Cygwin MySQL server still doesn't run stable.
