Is there a cygwin related question here?  Questions on OpenMP and 
clock() might be tolerated on gcc-help.
Advice on how to make meaningful benchmarks is definitely off topic.

With cygwin g++ 4.9 at -O or -O3 on win8.1 I get
time: 0
as evidently the compiler can shortcut your test loop (is that what you 
wished?).

For the -O0 -fopenmp build,
time: 2484    (1 thread)
time: 2547    (2 threads)
time: 2828    (3 t)
time: 3187    (4 t)
Much as would be expected, as you are asking for the total time spent 
among all threads (usual interpretation of clock()).
The bash time command shows real time decreasing with number of threads 
(close to total clock time divided by number of threads). OpenMP 
provides the function omp_get_wtime() for performance measurement 
(possibly a wrapper for gettimeofday()).
The cygwin library evidently doesn't treat clock() as equivalent to 
omp_get_wtime().  Speculation on how you could find a non-cygwin library 
which treats them as equivalent is probably off topic here.
Anyway, I think your problem is not with the cygwin gcc, unless you are 
looking for the more aggressive optimization of version 4.9.
