Ok, thanks for your suggestions.
I have readed documentation but  I have not found info about  compiling 
the package on cygwin.
I have installed all packages in Devel/Math/libs/utils
but the error is not changed.  The strange thing - for me, I am a newbe 
on Cygwin - is that I need to move the .a file in the /usr/cf_arith_xxxx 
directory instead make don't find them (they ar in lib directory)
I have replaced in the makefile -ltermcap with -lncurse:
LIBS = libgmp.a libreadline.a libhistory.a -lfl -lncurses # cygwin

instead of:
LIBS = libgmp.a libreadline.a libhistory.a -lfl -ltermcap #cygwin

now it seem to works: I have a cf_arith.exe file in /usr/cf_arith_xxx/

now I move it in /bin directory and I think it should works.

There exist a command to move all exe files created after compiling the 
module (and dll) in the /bin directory (c:\cygwin\bin) instead of moving 
them  with che copy command?
Thanks
Sandro
